About Geraldine
Geraldine Creagh arrived to Carrigstown looking for the father of her young son Owen. Ken Fahey and Geraldine had been in a relationship which resulted in the birth of their son but when Geraldine arrived she hadn’t seen Ken in over four months. Ken had been neglecting to pay child support and Geraldine decided it was about time he faced up to his responsibilities. Ken’s mother Mary had been giving Geraldine money to support Owen. Mary was desperate to have a relationship with her grandson so Geraldine agreed to stay in Carrigstown.

Geraldine, a girl with traditional values was still in love with Ken and wanted nothing more than to bring Owen up in a family environment. Although Geraldine knew Ken was a serial flirt, she decided to give their relationship another go when he asked her for a reunion.

Ken and Geraldine were happy playing family. Geraldine became close to her boyfriend’s brother Dermot and his wife Jo. However with the arrival of Jo’s sister Eleanor, Ken and Geraldine’s relationship was to be tested. Ken slept with Eleanor and when Geraldine found out she was truly devastated.

Again for the sake of Owen, Ken was to get another chance. Although her relationship with Ken wasn’t the stuff of fantasy Geraldine was still thrilled when she realised she was pregnant. She was sure this would cement her family. However heartache was to follow when Geraldine was involved in a road accident and knocked down. Geraldine was rushed to hospital. While a patient in hospital, Geraldine was administered the wrong medication. Tragically this resulted in Geraldine losing her unborn baby. The hospital wouldn’t accept responsibility but Geraldine was to receive an out of court settlement.

The tragedy brought Geraldine and Ken close and they were to marry. Geraldine was to catch Ken flirting with the wedding planner Zora and Sarah but she still walked down the aisle to become Ken’s wife, Geraldine Fahey.

Ken was delighted to learn Geraldine was to receive compensation and began spending the money even before Geraldine had received a penny.

Ken wasn’t impressed when Geraldine announced she was to start work as a waitress in The Bistro. Ken had been working for Mike as a chef. Geraldine began to confide in Mike and the two became firm friends.

When Geraldine found a receipt for a restaurant she knew Ken was up to his old tricks again. She followed Ken one night and caught him with Terry in the home they shared. Ken had devastated Geraldine once again.

Geraldine was surprised when her feelings for Mike became romantic. Mike had stood by her, supported her and promised to treat her how she deserved to be treated. They began an affair and Dermot, Ken’s brother was to catch them. Geraldine had given Ken too many chances. She simply couldn’t trust him anymore and decided to leave him to start a new life for her and Owen.

Geraldine is now separated from Ken and living happily with Mike and Owen. She is assistant manager of the Bistro and enjoying working with her boyfriend.
