Trivia[]

Ironically, the character that pretended to be Sonia's Father did a better job than Terry himself, that being Tom (Rocky) Cotton who pretended to be Sonia's father to scam her out of Dot Branning inheritance but later developed love and protection for her. Sonia even visited Tom in prison before she left requesting advice on whether to trust Terry or not labelling him as the closest person she had to a father after her stepdad, Alan Jackson left her family.
