I thought that when Tara's father was released from prison he went to live in a small flat, his house in today episode didnt look much like a small flat to me.
I think Zara had something to do with him moving to where he is now.
Memory is foggy on that, I think she went after the guy who caused her dad to have been in prison in the first place.
I think he might have hade compensation because he was wrongly imprisioned? Where is Zara? Can Zara and Daniel's relationship survive the fling with Barbie and his jealousy of his son?
