Matt made sure the twins would be remembered. In 1978, Matt married Dolly Acaster. They had a son w:c:emmerdale:Sam Skilbeck II in December 1982. Sam was named after his deceased older brother.

In late 1985, Dolly was pregnant again but miscarried, and she had an argument with nasty quarry owner w:c:emmerdale:Harry Mowlam recently.

In January 1986, 10 years after the twins deaths, they were referenced to when Matt was up on a murder charge after a huge fight with Mowlam. The real culprit, w:c:emmerdale:Derek Warner, was later caught.

In March 1994, Annie Sugden became a grandmother again to Victoria Anne Sugden and Jack Sugden said to Annie "Your first granddaughter", when in fact Sally was her first granddaughter, but had been dead 18 years by then. Jack may have meant Annie's first living granddaughter.
