She eventually got over his death and fell in love with Frankie Robinson the ambulance driver who was less than honest with her not only fathering a child to her friend Student Nurse Samantha Beaumont but also still being married to his first wife. With time and trust they moved on with their relationship. However, Meryl was herself killed whilst attending a road traffic accident when she was hit by a speeding vehicle. http://staidansroyalfree.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=27132181 27132181 http://staidansroyalfree.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=27131950 27131950 http://staidansroyalfree.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=27132225 27132225 http://staidansroyalfree.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=27132179 27132179 Always the ladies man Frankie Robinsons first conquest at THE ROYAL was Student Nurse Samantha Beaumont who unbeknown to him became pregnant.
