Cherry has recently helped Michelle
realise that she should stay at the surgery.
Recently she saw Michelle swigging vodka from the bottle in the surgery but after talking to Simon decided to not tell anyone but try to help Michelle instead, but she was knocked back. Then during the vaccination clinic, despite Cherry double checking Michelle gave her the wrong needle and they sent a man into anaphylactic shock, Michelle blamed Cherry. When Cherry tried to tell Julia the truth, Michelle had covered her trail and Cherry was suspended. In September Cherry met, Scott Nielson who was unknown to Cherry that he was a drug dealer.
arrived and DS Richmond arrested Cherry, saying she had something to do with Scott's death. (At this time it was not known to the viewers that Scott was a drug dealer, although the viewers could tell something was wrong with him.) At the police station, DI Amanda Lucas was very hard a nasty towards Cherry saying she had something to do with Scott's death. Cherry was very upset and could hardly sleep, her solicitor defended her against DI Lucas. Sergeant Rob Hollins
(who is the husband of Cherry's colleague and friend, Karen Hollins
) found £1,000 worth of heroin stuffed in a teddy bear in Scott's flat. Dr. Jimmi Clay
, who was the police surgeon at the station to help Cherry said she is unfit to interview. It is not certain how long this story-line will last. It is hoped that Cherry will be freed as soon as possible.
Cherry was re-interviewed on Monday 16 November 2009 in the presence of Sergeant Rob Hollins
and DI Lucas. At this interview she was shown various items of evidence that proved her deceased fiance was a drug dealer, and towards the end of the interview she accepted the fact that he may be a drug dealer. Even though as pointed out by Sergeant Rob Hollins that all evidence was circumstantial, DI Lucas had no choice but to bail her for 6 weeks. It is not known if Cherry has ever been formally released or any interviews dropped, but if watching the episodes that have followed over the last few months, she has not been re-interviewed, it is safe to say that she is a free woman not knowing any of Scott's illegal activities.
After spotting Cherry leaving Daniel's house early in the morning, Jimmi jumps to the wrong conclusion that Cherry and Daniel had slept together, and was obviously very jealous. He even asked Daniel to move out of the house as he was annoyed with him. Eventually Daniel worked out why Jimmi had been acting in that way, and so confirmed that nothing had happened between him and Cherry. Daniel advised Jimmi to phone Cherry and ask her out on a date, however Jimmi was too shy and nervous, therefore has avoided her for a while. As of January 2011, they are in a stable relationship and are sharing a home together.
