Backstory

Storylines
Kane owned a protection racket that was inadvertantly muscled in on by Annie Palmer. She thought she had bought it legitimately but it turned out that the person she "purchased" it from didn't have the right to sell it. Kane initially believed it was Annie's father George Palmer that had muscled in but later discovered that it couldn't have been George as he was in Australia. Kane took Phil Mitchell hostage in Phil's house to try to get information from him regarding the person who was actually causing the problems. Despite a severe beating at Kane's hands Phil refused to offer up any information, however he was left with no alternative when Kane discovered a sleeping baby in an upstairs bedroom. Kane tracked down Annie Palmer and left her with injuries severe enough to place her in intensive care. Kane left the square having regained control of his racket.
