Talk:Harold Bishop

Harold's first wife
Who was Harold's first wife (the mother of David and Kerry)? Was it someone called Mavis? I think she needs to be mentioned in the article, especially in the family list at the bottom. Can anyone confirm that she was called Mavis, and what happened to her (I assume she died). Evil Eye 10:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Mavis did indeed die during David and Kerry's teenage years. Read Harold's bio at perfectblend.net. Conquistador2k6.

Monster Hands
I have deleted "monster hands" and left it as "hands" as this is a POV.

Vandal Proofing
In all seriousness, this article needs it. Conquistador2k6.

Birthdate/Age Error
Fixed. Cheers.

Death?
I says on the perfect blend website he had died, is it true?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.141.53 (talk) 23:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

No this is not true. I was at his house for dinner last week. He won't return to the show because he wants to travel - outside of Australia - where people don't watch Neighbors or know who he is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.12.102 (talk) 16:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Daniel Robinson
Daniel Robinson was added to Harold's infobox under 'relatives', but I've removed him as Daniel is not actually Harold's grandson, he's Madge's. Harold was Daniel's step-grandfather (if that's a thing) for a few years and any interaction they had took place off-screen, until now. Harold hasn't been married to Madge for over a decade, so he's not actually related to Daniel at all. Should they be included in each other's infoboxes? - JuneGloom07    Talk  15:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I looked at WP:SOAPS for clarification and found this:


 * "For most characters, relatives listed should be limited to closer family and generations having some relevance to the character in question. Remember, more distant relations (step-great-grandchildren?) will be noted in the infoboxes of other characters more closely related to them. This is especially important for long-running characters, who tend to have an excessive amount of relations."


 * I'd say that Daniel is a classic textbook example of this and should not be included in Harold's infobox--5 albert square (talk) 16:10, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's why I felt he should be removed from the ibox. Thanks! - JuneGloom07    Talk  16:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
