Frankie(Ruta Gedmintas)

A self-assured architect, Cat is a driven control freak with a tendency to fret and analyse everything and anything – rarely leaping before she looks.

Lou(Roxanne McKee)

Stunningly attractive and charming when she wants to be, daytime TV presenter Lou Foster has quickly worked her way up the media ladder.

Ed(James Anthony Pearson)

A gentle bloke and true friend, Ed is very close to his sister, Cat. A would-be novelist, Ed pays the rent with temping work, often working alongside Tess in times of need.
