Katja's family moved to Manchester from the Ukraine when she was 3 yrs old. Her family live in a house share in one of its bedroom and share the kitchen and bathroom with 2 other families. This is the 8th house they've lived in as they keep getting moved by their landlord who owns all the houses and was introduced to them via a friend. As Katja attends the local comprehensive school now knows that this is wrong but her parents get cross when she tries to tell them as they are so worried their landlord will evict them.

Adrian works in IT. He is very particular about everything in life and gets incredibly stressed if things don’t (go his way) go to plan.
Adrian wears neat blue jeans, a shirt and tie and shiny black shoes to work - smart casual he says.
He is married to Liz and they have no children but Adrian thinks this is for the best, neither of them like children they would mess up their house and garden.
Adrian has a VERY expensive car and it makes him feel great. He washes and polishes it every Saturday morning and takes Liz for a spin in it if she’s ‘lucky’.

Saffron is 15. Takes no crap off anyone. She’s certainly no bully though and is the first to defend the meek child.
She has dyed blond hair. She’s naturally dark brown haired and brown eyes. She has intentionally thick eye brows. Some may say she wears far too much make up and far wiser than her age.

Dylan is 28 years old, affable, and works as a manager in a supermarket.
When he isn't at work, Dylan spends time obsessively cleaning his tiny flat, and washing his hands until the skin cracks.

As yet, he has confided in nobody about his routines, but he knows they are beginning to spiral, and that he will need help to manage his health.

For now, though, he keeps himself to himself, goes to work, and rushes home to spend his evenings cleaning.

Saffron.

Victoria is 40 and runs an art gallery in Cork street which specialises in abstract art. She is tall and slim with tawny streaky hair and a narrow, patrician face. She shops almost exclusively at Cos in a palette of black and mud colours which only serves to set off her vibrant acrylic jewellery which is made by her husband Toby, who she met at art school in the early naughties. They live in Hampstead, in a house given to them by Toby's parents, which Victoria loves and resents in equal measure. She suspects Toby is having an affair with their neighbour Suzette, but she doesn't really care.

The owner of the gallery is a billionaire who lives between New York, Paris and Dubai so she is mostly left to her own devices running a team of giggling art graduates who are treading water until they meet men called Jasper or Theo and can settle down in Primrose Hill and start having children.

Victoria ( NEVER Vicky) has a fine art degree and once upon a time had pretensions to be a great artist herself. This job was only ever supposed to be a temporary position while she worked on her own art. But it's been 15 years now and she's become seduced by the money and the cachet her job confers. She likes working in the west end, she pops to Burlington arcade most days and marvels at the antique jewellery in Susannah Lovis.

She's not really bothered either way about abstract art; her great shameful love is the schmaltz of the Pre-Raphaelites. She sometimes nips over to The Tate and stands in front of Ophelia by Millais for a quarter of an hour or so, swooning at the romantic martyrdom of the image before hopping back in a taxi to Piccadilly to flog Kandinskys to rich Americans.

Poppy is 12 and hates her name as she feels its too cute and girly and really hates it when her family call her Poppsy. Kids in class sometimes call her pop off or pop which she hates equally. She wants to be called Kate or Jo and daydreams about it. Poppy loves team sport especially football and athletics. She lives in her tracksuits and her parents tease her a little saying she'll even get married in one when she's older.

Molly is a middle aged woman, with a chaotic and friendly home, two teen daughters, and a devoted husband. (Roger)
She has known for some time that Roger is having an affair with a work colleague, and she is tormented by visions of what they get up to.
She is unable to decide whether to leave Roger, and her comfortable life, or whether to hit him over the head with a trowel and try to pass it off as an accident.

Alison is a country girl through and through. She could ride a horse before she could walk, and lives in her wellies. She has two lurchers who she adores (much more so than her husband) and spends hours everyday walking them. Alison is always the woman people turn to for straight talking advice. She's warm, funny and gives zero shits what anyone thinks of her.

Michael is 60. He’s divorced from Sue and has lived in a small terraced house since leaving the family home 15 years ago.

Michael is a quiet man, gentle, kind and funny but life has knocked the stuffing out of him.

He ‘left’ Sue and the family home after Sue had an affair with Graham. Graham manages the BMW dealership in town and is a bit of a t**t. Arrogant, cocky and a smart arse.

Sue actually told Michael to go. He didn’t want to but he had no choice really. Sue got half the house in the divorce settlement and paid Michael off (well below market value) with the help of an inheritance.

Graham swiftly moved into Michael’s former home. Michael and Sue’s two grown up daughters daughters don’t see their Mum. They hate how she treated their Dad and would much rather see him than their Mum and Graham.

They worry because Michael drinks a bit too much since he divorce but they love their gentle, kind Dad.
