Heath Hope

Heathcliff "Heath" Hope is the son of Bob and Viv Hope as well as twin brother of Cathy. Cathy is the older of the twins.

Since Bob and Viv's remarriage in 2006 they had wanted a child. When Viv finally found out she was pregnant, Bob did not want another child because of the death of his daughter Dawn. She was ready to have an abortion when Bob stopped her. Heath and twin-sister Cathy are born on 9th February 2007 in a shed on the moors, hence their names, delivered by village veterinarian Paddy Kirk. Heath is the younger of the twins.

They are baptised in May 2007, with nine godparents; Terry Woods, Marlon Dingle, Paddy Kirk, Donna Windsor-Dingle, Jamie Hope, Roxy Lockhart, Emily Kirk, Eddie Hope and Kelly Windsor. In July 2007, they are entered in a "Cute Kids" competition, which Heath wins.

On 19th September 2000, before the twins were born, Bob tries to sell Viv Windsor stockings for her shop, and Viv is left instantly smitten by him. She tries to woo him and they end up having a night of passion together. Bob and Viv end up going out and Bob proposes to her on 4th February 2001, and they marry the next day.

In December 2017, the twins, along side Brenda Walker, held a Christmas party in the Cafe for their dad Bob, however Bob didn't want a big fuss as he had forgotten Brenda's birthday the week before and didn't want her to make a big fuss about his. When Brenda invited Laurel Thomas, her step-daughter Gabby Thomas, son Arthur, their Grandfather Sandy Thomas and Lydia Hart and her boyfriend Sam Dingle round for their tea in the Café, things didn't go a plan when Brenda asked Cathy and Heath to look through Bob's phone to send her some pictures, when she saw a text from Laurel asking Bob if he had told Brenda yet, with Brenda not knowing that Bob and Laurel had secret one night stand behind her back.
