The Social Worker paid a visit to the Rovers for a check-up on Susie Price after receiving a complaint of possible neglect from Johnny Connor about the baby's mother Eva.
Johnny had recently discovered this his dead son Aidan Connor was the father of the baby and he blamed Eva for Aidan's subsequent suicide, not accepting that he was depressed for a myriad number of reasons, and feeling that if he knew he was the father of the child he wouldn't have taken his own life. When Susie rolled off the sofa in the pub's back room that she had been placed on and then rushed to the medical centre for a checkup, Johnny was sure that it confirmed his suspicions that the baby was unsafe in Eva's hands. He therefore contacted social services and the worker and her colleague appeared without notice at the Rovers to question Eva. She told them that Dr Gaddas had cleared the child after an examination. Peter Barlow who was with Eva at the time of the incident was puzzled that the doctor had rung social services when she knew the circumstances. The social worker made it clear that Dr Gaddas had not made the complaint, but she was not at liberty to say who had.
She later returned to say that the doctor had satisfied them that Susie was perfectly safe but they had to take all allegations seriously. They offered the help of a health worker to see Eva if she felt she wasn't coping which was angrily rejected. When Eva found out that Johnny had reported her, she barred him from having access to his granddaughter.
