Biography[]
One day in the latter half of the 20th century, Matthew Corbett planned to take Sooty, Sweep, and Soo to the seaside for the latest episode, although this particular episode lacked pictures as they ran out of money. However, while waiting for the bus, Iris Wildthyme and Panda arrived in her bus, and Soo demurely accepted Panda's flirtatious offer of a meal in a restaurant in Paris '62 over going to the beach, despite her initial reluctance to leave Sooty and Sweep behind as she knew they would get into mischief. (PROSE: It's Raining Gin [+]Jon Arnold, The Curse of Fanfic! (The Curse of Fanfic!, Obverse Books, 2020). Page 134.)
As the sun was setting later that day, Soo and Panda returned, and, twenty weeks later, she revealed to Matthew that she had a child, whom she was naming after the meal she and Panda shared: Scampi.
