## Storylines

In May 2010, Nick is woken by noises in the night, and goes downstairs to find **Amy Soffmi** in the kitchen of 4 Hole Street. She tells them that she has run away from her abusive father, and her equally as abusive boyfriend, Wallace Bumf. She is also pregnant. A few days later, her father comes to the house, demanding she comes home, and also indicating that he is going to lay into her when she does. Nick and Nita throw him out. During the argument, Amy loses the baby. Amy goes to see her boyfriend, along with Nick, and tells him she lost the baby. Wallace decides to change his ways, and the pair start again. Her mother, Gaale, arrives a few days later, and the 3 move away together. In June 2011, Amy, Wallace and Gaale arrive back, and move into 3 Poshnob Place. In February 2012, the three are invited to neighbour Emma Cenzi's birthday party. While there, Wallace begins to act inappropriately towards Emma's daughter, Britt. Britt shoves him, and he falls through a glass table, killing him. The whole thing is seen by Katy Gale. When Amy comes in, Britt blames Katy for it. Amy gives Katy a hard time, until Britt finally confesses that it was her, and gets two months in prison. Amy and Katy give Britt a hard time, until December 2012, when Britt commits suicide by jumping off the roof of her house. Emma is furious at Amy and Katy. In February 2013, Amy is kidnapped, but is rescued by Nick. In December 2014, Amy, along with five others, is killed in a freak electric explosion at The Corner Shop.

## Background Info
