Andy Sugden

[Petal]

I've only recently started watching Emmerdale and I was wondering what Andy's background was before he came to the village and what happened to his real mother?

[chamone256]

i don't know much but his mother was killed in a fire started by him.

I thought he killed his step-mom in the fire.

His real dad is in prison and he was adopted by sarah and jack sugden, then he killed sarah (by accident) in a fire he started. I don't know anything about his real mum though. Daz is his half brother I think, they have the same dad.

Andy Sugden will get a new love in the shape of post totty Maisie Wylde

I wish Andy would leave or die

Wanting him to die is a bit harsh, don't you think? I might not like a character but never wanted one to die.

You are probably right it is too harsh ( me in terrible form at the moment friends visiting ) i just cant stand the character of Andy and with Jack's death, him losing baby Sarah and Jo leaving maybe its time he left also - they is not much more they can do with the character

He could just start to turn his life around again ??

ANDY misses a key custody hearing about Sarah * because he is being quizzed by the police about trying to hit Cain with his car!
Ever since Jo left the village, Andy has been trying to convince everybody that his violent tantrums are behind him, and that he's a good father to his little girl.

But Cain is prepared to do anything to make sure Debbie wins custody of Sarah * including using Andy's shameful past against him!

Despite Debbie saying she doesn¹t want to play dirty, her dad tells the authorities that Andy used to beat up his wife.

Later, Cain takes pleasure in revealing his actions to Andy * who instantly sees red!

The fuming farmer puts his foot down, intent on turning Cain into road-kill, but Cain is able to dash out of the way.

Later, as the hearing approaches, Andy is carted off by the cops for questioning over the incident, having been grassed up by Cain!

With Andy a no-show, the case gets adjourned. Has Cain destroyed Andy's chances of keeping Sarah?
