[edit] Biography

Demi giving birth

Fifteen-year-old Demi is the daughter of Keith and Rosie Miller, and the twin sister of Darren, who she loves to cause trouble with on the Square. She gave birth at the age of thirteen to Aleesha, with assistance from then-family enemy Pauline Fowler; the godparent of Aleesha.

Demi then ran away with Aleesha's father, Leo Taylor, when the family feud between the Taylors and the Millers re-erupted. While facing temporary housing in a crack house, Demi took it upon herself to take heroin. A distraught Leo found her and, thinking she was dead, took a drug overdose, and died consequently in hospital.

After the traumatic death of Leo in August 2005, Demi was happy to be reunited with her family. It took a while to forgive them for hating Leo, but soon she was back hanging out with her twin again. In October 2005, Demi celebrated Aleesha's 1st birthday and she was also joined by her older half-sister, Dawn Swann. In December 2005, Demi made a trusting friend in Sonia Fowler after their heart-to-heart about their deceased boyfriends, Leo and Jamie Mitchell. Demi and Darren are now looking for a tombstone for Leo.

Keith found out that Rosie had kissed her ex-husband and planned to run off with him, father of Demi's half brother and sister Dawn and Mickey, he left her. Keith returned to be with the family for a brief period but he and Rosie split up again.

Keith moved back in when he proposed to Rosie. The wedding ceremony took place on 4 July 2006 at Walford Register Office. Rosie couldn't go through with the wedding and jilted Keith halfway through the ceremony. Rosie planned to move away with Darren, Demi and Aleesha to take on a new job as housekeeper and start a new life without Keith. Although Darren was less than happy at the news, Demi wanted to bring Aleesha up somewhere different from Albert Square. Rosie, Demi and Aleesha left Walford on 7 July 2006.
