Well, the Diner eventually burns down because of a chip pan fire, so I guess we see them eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeandawayfan. Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Mervin Baldivis had the potential to become a regular character. He only appeared in 2 episodes, in Jan and Feb 1988 respectively. He was a distant relative of Martha Stewart nee Baldivis, about 10 times removed though.

Did they even ADDRESS that, which is the real question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a question that we’d always had though, so I asked Bevan Lee when I put together Martha’s profile a couple of years back, in case Merv was intended to be Martha’s dad or something. He said that he saw Merv as some sort of cousin or distant relation, so I added it as a note to the end of the profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Ok. They just never gave a clear inkling in the show, all I knew is he had a lot of clout in Northern Districts, enough to get Barlow demoted to Garbo Duty and Tom hired as foreman.

Homeandawayfan. Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Baldivis is a rare surname and it was probably a no brainer than Merv was somehow related to Martha, but never addressed, and Bevan Lee said he was just some sort of distant relative. Also if Merv had been Alf's father in law, it would probably have been stated in those 2 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold the store after Martha died and moved to the city, I think. Odd that they’d leave given Roo was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
