Answer: Jacqui D's Style House

Answer: Christian

Rachel worked at Bar Brookie where she met Christian. At first, Rachel was unsure about dating Christian as he had previously been going out with her friend Katie Rogers, but Katie said it was not a problem, so soon Rachel and Christian were going out on regular dates and getting along really well.

Their relationship progressed very quickly and Rachel soon found herself in love with Christian, so when he asked her to move in with him she readily agreed. Soon after this Christian started becoming very jealous and moody when he saw Rachel talking to other men at work, particularly Mike Dixon, resulting in many arguments. Christian continued to sulk about this for some time before suddenly snapping out of his bad mood when he asked Rachel to marry him.

Despite his possessive behaviour, Rachel was still besotted with Christian so willingly accepted his proposal.
8. A religious cult in Brookside Close was organised by cult leader Simon. Katie Rogers was one of the first people to be influenced by Simon, and was initiated into the group. Which other cast regular was their next prey?

Answer: Terry Sullivan

Simon wanted Terry to buy the house so that they could have a permanent place of worship, Barry Grant buys the house before terry can. Eventually Simon decides that since they can't have the house then no one can, planning to make a bomb to destroy the house.

There are seconds to spare when Terry and Barry get out just in time.
