Ricky Bowen

Ricky Bowen

Richard "Ricky" Bowen is the father of McQueen siblings Carmel and Michaela McQueen. Ricky had a relationship with Myra McQueen and became stepfather to her three daughters Jacqui, Mercedes, and Tina. Ricky went on to have two more children with Myra, daughters Carmel and Michaela. While he was away with his band, Myra slept with Iain Naimsmith, before Iain began his transition to being a woman named Sally St. Claire. When Rickey returned Myra lied to Ricky and John Paul and said John Paul was Ricky's son. After youngest daughter Michaela was born, Ricky left Myra and the children for their next door neighbour, 17-year-old daughter Heather McCallister, who later gave birth to his son Richard. Ricky came in and out his children's lives. Carmel and John Paul learned not to trust their father, but Michaela wanted a chance to get to know him. She managed to get Ricky's number and he came to visit her. He told her he wanted to make up for the past, but while they were alone in the house, Ricky convinced Michaela to go out to the store. While she was gone, Ricky stole the family's Christmas gifts, liquor, and television, leaving Michaela heartbroken.
