Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a country located in the Middle East. It is a vibrant, culture-infused society, possessing thousands of years worth of history. One might think a country so distant would never be mentioned in a Yorkshire-based soap. Well, one would be wrong.

In April 2010, Colleen King decided to emigrate to Saudi Arabia with her children, Thomas and Anya, following the breakdown of her second marriage. While Colleen's ex-husband Carl King attempts to stop Colleen from taking his children away, he is unsuccessful.

In early 2013, Thomas returns from Saudi Arabia to stalk Carl's ex-partner Chas Dingle, as she is a suspect in Carl's murder. The stalking is eventually put to a stop and Thomas returns to Saudi Arabia.
