Sheridan is Hyacinth and Richard's son. He is an unseen character. He is away at college (at "The Poly" studying Tapestry Design and Advanced Needlework[1]) and is known to audiences primarily through Hyacinth's phone conversations with him. It is important to note that Sheridan's voice is never heard. Though it is implied that Sheridan is gay (perhaps in a relationship with roommate Tarquin), Hyacinth herself either doesn't realize or refuses to acknowledge her son's presumed sexual orientation (she frequently describes him as being "artistic, like his mummy"). He usually phones when he is in need of money.
Sample Conversations with Mummy
In The Candlelight Supper, Sheridan rings, and after asking for seventy pounds, the following is heard:
Hyacinth (to Sheridan): "Now you're not spending it on girls, are you, dear? You promised Mummy. We agreed not until after you've finished your education. [she listens] Oh, you and Tarquin aren't interested in girls. What a comfort that is to a mother's heart, dear."
