Summary

Jack Squire (Adam Faith) is a successful businessman with an ambition to be head of his own dynasty.

Jack's wife, Maxine (Gillian Taylforth) looks after his home and does her best to cope with his ever-changing moods.

His son Roger (Richard Lumsden) is married to Vicky (Carli Norris). Unknown to Maxine and Roger, Jack and Vicky had a "fling" when she worked as his secretary, before she married Roger.

Jack's other children are his son JJ (Luke de Woolfson) and his greedy, scheming daughter Lisa (Kellie Bright).
