Joe Scarlet

Joe Scarlet was Edna Birch's ex-fiancé and father of Peter Birch.
In the early 1960s, sailor Joe was engaged to be married to Edna Burrows - the only man Edna ever loved. Joe had a fling with Edna's sixteen-year-old sister, Lily, which resulted in Lily falling pregnant. Neither Lily nor Joe wanted a baby so Edna hastily married her close friend from church, Harold Birch, and the couple raised Peter as their own child.
