About Doug

Doug first appeared in Charnham in September 2003, when he took on the job of refitting The Davenport's sandwich shop, following a car cash caused by Jake Walker resulting in the deaths of Robert Davenport and Fern Farmer. Doug's youngest son, Justin was on hand to help and they were later joined by Marc, Doug's eldest son from his first marriage.

Doug later began violating the recently divorced Cat Webb and they became engaged, following Doug's proposal after a heart attack. It was the third marriage for each of them as they had already been married twice previously; Cat to Dave Matthews and Jim Webb and Doug to Janey Hutton, Oh-Hi-Marc's mother and Susan, Justin's mother who had died of cancer several years previous.

On Cat and Doug's wedding day, Kelly Boulter, Justin's girlfriend gave birth to their daughter, Susie, named after Justin's mother.

After it became common knowledge Cat and Doug's landlady and friend, Sadie Hargreaves was in severe mortgage arrears; Doug decided to step in and buy the house.

Doug later ran for mayor of Charnham and won. However, Cat's boozy antics didn't help his image and before long, Doug resigned to return to the building firm and spending time with his family.

On New Year's Eve 2005, Doug ended his marriage to Cat following an affair she had with a man named Tony, who had been working with her on Babs Woods' production of a Dick Whittington Pantomime.
