Mike Tucker
played by Terry Molloy
Description
Bad vibes just seem to follow Mike around. He has suffered bankruptcy, depression, the loss of an eye, the loss of his wife and being knocked down by a car, and all this for a man whose disposition was not of the sunniest in the first place. However he's battled on, moving forward with his milk round and taking comfort from his children Roy and Brenda. Mike's family circle grew with Roy's wife Hayley, who took over the care of Betty's chickens and provided him with a second granddaughter, Abbie. And then there's Vicky. Mike couldn't believe his luck when he met this fun loving livewire, and they were married before he'd had time to catch his breath.
