## Storylines

Victor first appears in October 2011, when he attends his daughter Alex's wedding to Nick. Victor returns in June 2012, as he had moved into Poshnob Place, along with his wife Jackie & other daughters Tina & Karen. It is later revealed that Victor is a twisted man who likes causing suffering on people. In July 2012, he alters No.5 Hole Street, where a party is taking place, to make it fall down. It collapses, killing Luthina Varley, Tess Varley, Jassi Wesmiy, Soothy Mobb & Liz Dart. In August 2012, when the house is rebuilt, he gets an obsession with Rosemarie Weekday, and breaks into the house and sets it on fire, taking the batteries out of the smoke alarm. Rosemarie gets up in the middle of the night, sees the kitchen on fire, shouts "Fire!" and faints. Not long after, Nick smells smoke and realises the house is on fire. Nick, Rain Maki & Johnny Goulding rescue Rosemarie & her son Luke, daughter in law Sian & grandson Alfie. Victor later decides to pay a visit to a traumatized Rosemarie, who is living with Ilfracwm & Robert McAlddon, who hysterically says that Victor has come to kill her off. Robert tells Victor to go away, and he starts to walk away, however he later tries to smash the front room window with a sledgehammer, before being stopped again by Robert. In August, Victor loses his job, and as a result strangles his boss, Donald Barry. He then attacks Gaale Soffmi, leaving her traumatized. Nick, Rebecca & Maria confront him, and Victor makes derogatory remarks about Delilah & Laura, causing Maria to play cups with him before being pushed aside by Nick. They later tell Jackie about his crimes, and Jackie leaves, after threatening him with a shotgun and calling him a "bastard". In October 2012, Victor kidnaps Jackie, Tina, Karen, Nick, Alex, Amii, Tia & Kales, ties them into his car, and drives them into a pond in an attempt to kill them. This is spotted by the Weekday and Goulding families, and they are rescued by UriahMaria, Johnny & Luke. Victor also walks out of the water. Two weeks later, Victor kidnaps everyone and plays a game of Russian roulette; spinning a wheel and letting one person go at a time, until there are only two people left: Nick & Alex. Alex is the last person standing, and Victor shoots her and leaves her to die. Alex is taken to hospital, where she survives. Victor attempts to visit her, however is stopped by Jackie, Tina, Karen & Nick. Victor later commits suicide by drowning, jumping into the river.
