[edit] Character

Kerry, named after her late grandmother, was born to Sky Mangel (Stephanie McIntosh) on October 31, 2006. Shortly after her birth, she was kidnapped from the hospital, which had been set alight by Teresa Cammeniti (Hannah Greenwood). Teresa was at first suspected to be the abductor, but the blame then shifted to Stingray Timmins (Ben Nicholas), who was then believed to be the baby's father. It was later revealed that Stingray's brother, Dylan (Damien Bodie) kidnapped Kerry. During the time that Dylan had Kerry in his possession, he bonded with her and was sure that she was his daughter. Sky agreed to a paternity test after Dr. Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) told her that Dylan might be the father. Karl originally said that Dylan could not be the father because the baby appeared to not be developed enough on ultrasound scans for it to have been conceived when Dylan and Sky last slept together. Kerry's great-grandfather, Harold Bishop, became very overprotective of baby Kerry, believing that her parents, Sky and Dylan, were not capable of looking after the baby themselves. But when Harold's car is stolen with Kerry inside, Harold comes up with a massive lie and realises that Sky and Dylan are good parents after all. At the moment Kerry has been newly diagnosed with lymphoid leukaemia and will need to undergo a bone marrow transplant from a suitable donor. It was found that although both Stingray and Dylan have matching bone marrow to Kerry, only Stingray’s is suitable for donation as Dylan’s blood carries toxins from the time he was exposed to chemical waste in the wetlands as result of the Affirmacon scandal while he and Paul Robinson were in a partnership. An angry Dylan then confronts Paul and accuses him of being the cause of the leukemia. Kerry's uncle Stingray underwent surgery in order to donate his bone marrow, and, though the operation at first seemed successful, Stingray passed away a week later. Prior to his death, Stingray had made a video for Kerry talking about the Timmins family.
