Edward "Ed" Morrison is the ex-husband of Elizabeth Morrison and the father of the late Maddie Morrison. Ed was left smitten when he met Carmel Valentine at the gym in May 2012, and the pair went on a date. Ed later took Carmel to College Coffee, where he ended up bumping into Maddie. Maddie was horrified to see her father with another woman, and revealed to Carmel that her parents were still married, with a furious Carmel refusing to see him again. Shortly afterwards, Elizabeth and Ed broke the news to Maddie that they had filed for divorce.
Ed did not attend the memorial service held for Maddie and her friends when they were killed in a bus crash in November 2012.
