Derrick Thompson

Derrick Thompson is a character who appeared in City 14 as the main antagonist. He was the psychotic father of Samantha Robertson, who arrived in City 14 to cause hell for her and her fiance Nathan Johnson. Derrick was later responsible for killing Samantha in a road accident.

History
Derrick is the father of Samantha Robertson. Becoming jealous of her relationship to Nathan Johnson, he turned up in City 14 to stalk and harass her. In their first encounter Derrick came across Samantha when she was hanging out at a restaurant by herself and the pair got chatting. Derrick lured Samantha from the restaurant and bundled her into his car. He then took her to a hotel in order to "spend time" with her, and released her the next morning.

Derrick attempted to set Nathan up by breaking into the home of Laura Peterson and attacking her, which caused a rift between Nathan and his friend and Laura's partner Pete Peterson. However Nathan was cleared of the assault and made amends with Pete prior to his death.

Still vengeful, Derrick kidnapped Samantha a second time and took her to an abandoned Inn outside of City 14, where he planned to hold her for an unknown amount of time. But Nathan arrived and pushed Derrick from the first floor window and rescued Samantha. This incident caused Nathan and Samantha to grow closer and they got engaged and later married, much to Derrick's annoyance.

A couple of days after the wedding Derrick ran over Samantha while she crossed the road and she later died of her injuries. Derrick attended her funeral (although watched from a distance) and left City 14.

Derrick will return in the fourth series of City 14, in which he returns to City 14 fifteen years following Samantha's death.
