Cynthia and her son, Danny, only arrived in Emmerdale in June, but already their troubles are piling up. Life got seriously out of hand for the family when Cynthia's heavily pregnant daughter, Latisha, joined them. Meanwhile, Cynthia came to blows with Carol Wareing in The Woolpack and the misfortune continued when Latisha goes into labour before even finding her family. Luckily, Jason Kirk happened to be passing and found himself delivering the baby. Cynthia didn't agree with Latisha's choice of boyfriend, and they had argued about that. But when Latisha's relationship went pear shaped she decided to visit her mum. It made Cynthia more determined to solve their problems.
