Incidents

Tina McIntyre accidentally fell from the balcony in May 2014 after a confrontation with Rob Donovan, who wanted Tina to keep silent over her affair with Peter Barlow, the husband of Rob's sister Carla. Although Tina had survived the drop and Rob offered to call her an ambulance, she threatened to reveal his dodgy dealings at his business Barlow's Buys which could land Rob back in prison. In a rage, he beat her unconscious with a pipe, and she died the following week in hospital.

In the following May during the fire at Victoria Court started by Tracy Barlow, Maddie Heath - who had just been in an argument with Jenny Bradley - went to tell Sophie Webster about her plan to kidnap her half-brother Jack. However, from a massive explosion at Carla Connor's flat came a small piece of flaming wooden debris. It landed near some flammable materials in the yard. When Maddie was running across Victoria Street to tell Sophie about Jenny, the chemicals exploded, knocking Maddie to the ground. She died of her injuries on 1st June. Over the next couple of days, Jason got really stressed about the heavily-damaged yard reopening.
