The pair were inseparable, despite obvious disapproval from son Adam, who took an instant dislike to him. Adam was not well-liked in the Square, but he could do no wrong in Manda's eyes, who overmothered him, perhaps because of his spina bifida.
When scheming Adam discovered that Minty had been undertaking a secret correspondence with jailbird Sam Mitchell, he didn't think twice about letting his mum know - although he got girlfriend Libby to do his dirty work. Heartbroken, Manda left the Square and Adam followed soon after.
