Name: Dana Monroe
First Appeared: 1st April 2021

Played by: Barbara Smith

Dana Monroe really liked boyfriend Bobby Beale and he was desperate to keep her. She was intelligent, bright and clever and very understanding, but Bobby just wasn’t straight with her.

He exaggerated his job, his wealth and his life. They lost their virginity to each other, but of course, in the end, Bobby’s lies were too much. She also made the mistake of sleeping with Peter, his own brother, so perhaps Bobby would be better off without her. It broke his heart when she left for university in Glasgow – as far away from her racist brother and overbearing father Harvey as she could get!
