Moordale

**Moordale** is a small town located in Midgeville County in a non-specified part of the United Kingdom.

## History

The earliest records of Moordale date back to the year 1910, when Moordale Secondary School was founded. The first ever principal of the school was Mr. P. Henderson, who held the position until 1917.

Around 20 years before season 1, Jakob Nyman moved to Moordale from Sweden, where he fell in love with a mother of his future children and got married with her. Sadly, she passed away some years later from cancer.

In early 2000s, Abeo and Beatrice Effiong moved to Moordale from Nigeria, where they decided to start a family. Also around that time, the Milburn family, consisting of Jean, Remi and their son Otis, moved into their house on 43 Ashford Street. Some years after that, Remi moved out, after Jean found out that he was cheating on her with his clients.

Also, some years prior to season 1, Maeve and Sean Wiley's father abandoned his family, which later caused his wife, Erin to become a drug-addict. Eventually, due to her addiction, she went to prison, forcing Sean to take care of his younger sister. Meanwhile, he also got expelled from school, and eventually left Maeve as well a couple of years later.

In 2019 (presumably), Cal Bowman and their family moved to Moordale from Minneapolis, USA.

Some time prior to season 2 storyline, Rahim Harrak and his atheist family had to leave France because of their religion. At the beginning of season 2, the whole town was scared of the Chlamydia outbreak; everyone would wear face masks and was afraid of having sex. The whole thing eventually turned out to be one big hysteria. In the spring of 2021, brothers Goodwin Isaac and Joe moved into one of the caravans at the Southchester Caravan Park and became Maeve's neighbors. Michael Groff moved out from the Groff house, due to his and Maureen's divorce. Because of that, in the summer of 2021 he moved in with his older brother and his wife. Eventually, after some time he moved out, after finding out they were annoyed by his presence in their house and moved in with his former colleague, Colin Hendricks.

On September 1, 2021 (presumably) Hope Haddon was introduced as a new headteacher of Moordale Secondary. She held the position until late October 2021, when the students opposed her will to change the school into a sex-free one and played a sex-promo video during the open day. That event also inspired a lot of the schools around the UK to protest. After losing it, Hope quits and the school is set to be closed, which makes Moordale students find new educational alternatives. Also in the fall of 2021, Ola and Jakob moved into Milburn house, after Jakob wanted to be closer to the baby he was having with Jean. Then, Jean and Jakob also decided to become a family. Around the same time, Emily Sands also decided to move in with her boyfriend, Colin. In October 2021, after whole 17 years of living at the caravan park, Maeve moved in with Anna, so she could be closer to her younger half-sister, Elsie. On October 25, 2021, Jean gave birth to Joy at the Moordale Community Hospital. In late October 2021, Maeve moved out from Moordale for a couple of months in order to study in America.
