Sinclair family (Emmerdale)

The Sinclair family were a fictional family in Emmerdale.

About the Sinclairs

The Sinclairs are upper class aristocrat family. They were introduced one by one.

Later at a dinner party, we met Alasdair's older brother Grayson and Grayson's wife, Perdy; they were revealed as the new residents of Oakwell Hall, previously occupied by Lady Tara Thornfield.

At Alasdair and Sadie's wedding, we were introduced to the matriarch of the Sinclair family, the ruthless and formidable Rosemary Sinclair who took an instant dislike to her youngest son's wife-to-be. After Matthew King burst in trying to stop the wedding, it was too late; Alasdair and Sadie were already married but Sadie left Alasdair at the church, going off with Matthew. Rosemary vowed revenge on the woman who had broken her son's heart.

Rosemary made a deal with Sadie: in exchange for the Sinclair business with the most sentimental value to Rosemary, Sadie would have the marriage annulled. Rosemary got her revenge: once the business was signed over, Rosemary revealed that it was worthless. She also told Sadie that the meal she had been served prior to the signings was Sadie's horse Cossack (this was a lie, but Sadie believed it).

Rosemary and Alasdair soon left, possibly to another grand Sinclair home, while Grayson and Perdy became involved with village life. It appeared that Grayson and Perdy's marriage was on shaky ground following his infidelities and her inability to carry a baby full term.

At a recent shooting party at Home Farm, Perdy suffered a miscarriage which turned out to be her sixth. After Rosemary found out, from the family doctor, she made a point of saying the lack of a child was a danger to the family name. Perdy, furious with Rosemary's cruelty, forced Grayson to find them a house away from Oakwell Hall, and the two moved into Mill Cottage, Rodney Blackstock's old house.

Rosemary, meanwhile, is hiding a huge secret from the rest of the family. She's broke and only her loyal servant, Susie, knows this. She got her claws into Tom King in a bid to secure some financial backing, but didn't know that he, too, was broke and was using the Sinclair matriarch for exactly the reason. Rosemary is told that the Oakwell Hall has been one of her own family (Oakwells), for centuries. It has only once been owned by someone else, she meaning Lady Tara.

While Tom got sucked into Rosemary's world, his son, Matthew, developed an attraction to Rosemary's daughter-in-law, Perdy, and during a recent ball at Home Farm, in Grayson's absence, Perdy and Matthew slept together. Perdy even thought she was pregnant with Matthew's child but that turned out to be a false alarm.

The Kings were unable to stop the wedding between Rosemary and Tom. However, Tom died hours after getting married to Rosemary on Christmas Day 2006. Rosemary committed suicide a year later on what would have been the first anniversary and of her and Tom's wedding.

Finally came a new baby Sinclair, son of Perdy and Grayson with Katie Sugden as surrogate mother. However, just after giving birth, Katie told Perdy to take the baby and run. They left on 22 July 2008.
