Wayne Hamilton and Mary Reynolds
Mary Reynolds comes into the Hamiltons' lives after
turning up at Woombai claiming that Patricia is her mother. Everyone
- Alison Carr especially - denies this. However, Alison - and,
later, Charlie - know the real truth: Mary is her daughter
and Gordon is her father. Wayne proposes to Mary when she wants
to help Gordon after he loses Woombai to his brother, James: Mary
learns that she will inherit a large amount of money when she
marries, and so Wayne suggests that they could marry and pass
the money on to Gordon. The wedding goes ahead and Mary unknowingly
marries her half-brother. Fortunately, Mary is shy about sleeping
with Wayne, so they haven't consummated the marriage when Alison
admits to Mary a couple of days later that she is Patricia
and that Gordon is her father. Once the shock has worn off, legal
proceedings begin to annul the marriage.
Tim Palmer and Donna Jackson
Donna Jackson - Brett Keegan's girlfriend - turns
up at Beryl's when Brett is staying there and tells him that she's
pregnant to him. Brett, however, makes it clear that he doesn't
want to know. Tim Palmer is shocked by Brett's behaviour and he
quickly starts spending time with Donna to make her feel better.
They have only known each other for a few days when Tim proposes
to Donna - and she accepts. They move away to Ararat, where they
marry. They return to Melbourne a few months later for Leigh Palmer's
funeral, and Tim admits to Fiona that he doesn't love
Donna, but he does care for her.
Neville Curtis and Celia [surname unknown]
Neville Curtis breaks Janice Reid's heart after
he discovers that she's in love with him and has to reveal that
he has a fiancée, Celia, back home in England. A few weeks
after Neville says goodbye to Janice and the residents of the
mansion, Fiona receives a copy of Neville and Celia's wedding
photo.
Wayne Hamilton and Susan Palmer
After her first husband, Bill Todd, is killed in
prison, Susan Palmer becomes involved in a love triangle with
Wayne and Glen Young. Wayne, however, uses a multitude of dirty
tricks to discredit Glen and make him look like a love rat in
Susan's eyes. Susan eventually agrees to marry Wayne, but Wayne
has to arrange for Glen to be kidnapped on the day of the wedding
to stop him turning up with evidence that would prove Wayne has
been lying. Glen manages to escape and he makes his way to Dural.
He forces Susan to listen to what he has to say, but because Wayne's
henchmen have stolen his evidence, he can't make Susan believe
he's telling the truth. Susan goes ahead and marries Wayne - although
she still holds a light in her heart for Glen. Sadly, the marriage
heads for disaster, as Susan finds herself unable to cope with
Wayne's controlling nature and his insane jealousy. She fakes
suicide twice, and only lets Wayne know she's alive after Alison
pleads with her to help; Wayne has taken everything away from
Alison and left her in the gutter. The game is a dangerous one,
sadly: Wayne later spots Susan creeping around in the grounds
at Charlie's, he grabs her, drags her back to Dural and murders
her.
Gordon Hamilton and Beryl Palmer
Following Gordon Hamilton's split from Barbara and Beryl Palmer's
decision not to remarry David, both Gordon and Beryl find themselves
feeling somewhat lonely. While Beryl is staying in Sydney after
discovering that her daughter, Susan, has committed suicide following
her involvement with Wayne - although this later turns out not
to have been the case - she and Gordon spend time together and
it becomes clear that they share feelings for each other. Gordon
proposes marriage, but Beryl turns him down on the grounds that
she couldn't live in the same house as Wayne. When Gordon offers
to send his son away, Beryl agrees to marry him. The two of them
subsequently move to live in Beryl's house in Melbourne and the
wedding ceremony takes place in a nearby church.
Doug Fletcher and Caroline Morrell
After a long courtship and an engagement that's
on and then off and then on and then off, Doug Fletcher and Caroline
Morrell marry finally in a Registry Office in Melbourne. Debbie
and Craig act as witnesses.
Todd Buckley and Charlie Bartlett
Charlie Bartlett meets Todd Buckley while she's
staying at a health farm. The two of them fall in love quickly
and Todd follows Charlie back to Sydney. Their relationship faces
hostility from Alison, who's convinced that Todd is only after
Charlie's money. Wayne takes advantage of this by drugging Todd
and arranging for Charlie to catch him with another woman. Charlie
is horrified when she catches Todd, and she quickly breaks off
the relationship. Wayne then manipulates the situation so that
the set-up is revealed, but he makes it look like Alison was behind
it. Charlie and Todd resume their relationship and marry three
days later, in Sons and Daughters' final episode.
