Malcolm, the oldest of the Kennedy children, first caused a rumpus on the family’s arrival in Ramsay Street by accidentally shooting Lou Carpenter!
Malcolm had a long-term relationship with Danni Stark and, against both their parents wishes, they moved into No. 32 together. This arrangement ended after Danni believed she had become pregnant and the pair moved back to their respective parents houses. The relationship eventually broke up when Malcolm started to feel that Danni was becoming selfish and possessive, however they remained friends afterwards.
After leaving school, Malcolm went to University but dropped out after deciding he didn’t like the course and was taken on by Sam Kratz as an assistant for his handyman and gardening business. When Sam moved to England, Malcolm took over the operation of ‘Handy Sam’s’ and when Sam decided to sell the business he went into partnership with Darren Stark to buy the business. This partnership ended after only a short time when Darren blamed the Kennedy family for Cheryl’s death.
Malcolm’s life was put in jeopardy after an accident while renovating the Waterhole/’Lou’s Place’ and Karl had to perform an emergency tracheotomy to save his son’s life in the 1996 series finale.
