Rob Armstrong

They met when Kate first moved to Leeds and Rob pulled her over in her red mini to tell her that her coat was trapped in the door. After a barrage of verbal abuse from Kate, Rob was smitten. He was separated from his wife Gill at the time and he and Kate have been together ever since.

They now live in a semi-detached house in Leeds with their thirteen-year-old daughter - Lucy and Kate’s fifteen-year-old son from her previous relationship - Tom. Rob also has a son from his marriage to ex-wife Gill - Liam, who has just started at university. Life is far from dull with their blended family and together they try to tackle all the chaos of family life.

When there’s an opening for the rank of Detective Inspector at Westfield Police Station, Rob is determined to grab the promotion. All he needs is the perfect case so he can prove himself and impress his boss...
