George Docherty

George Dockerty is the brother of Isabel Docherty.

In November 2000, George made the discovery that his sister's husband, Anthony Stephens, had become romantically involved with another woman, Rita Sullivan, while Isabel resided in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Furious, George announced that he would no longer be putting money towards Isabel's nursing home, the cost of which was currently being shared by George and Anthony, if Anthony and Rita's relationship continued. Not wanting to give Rita up, Anthony decided that he would sell his house to get the money in order to not lose Rita but Rita asks him to keep her out of any decision he makes about his wife.

It turns out that Anthony and Isabel's daughter, Amanda Stephens, was the one who contacted George to tell him about Rita. In February 2001, Amanda meddles further as she invites George and her brother Gregory Stephens to the dinner party arranged by Anthony to apologise for the way he has treated Isabel. The trio gang up on Anthony but he puts a stop to their arguments when he claims loneliness as the cause for his actions and admits he will be filing for divorce against Isabel.
