Another major storyline for Beverly came when she and Jim agreed to start a family. Tragically, Beverly was mugged which resulted in a miscarriage. Not too long after, when a child was left at her medical surgery, she applied for legal guardianship of the child, but the parents saw it as an opportunity to blackmail her.
