Head of the Armstrong dynasty
Loving yet overbearing husband of Pamela
Father of: Riley, Georgie and Oscar
Strict, upright citizen who has had a long held career and still continues to work despite being semi-retired.
Enjoys golf on a Saturday, reading of the newspaper and time spent in his private study.
Mysterious, stern, enigmatic and a bit of an outsider in terms of family and friends, not someone you can ever win against.
Riley Armstrong
First born son to Edward & Pamela.
Erin's Boyfriend
Has long suffered with the pressure of 'Armstrong' dynasty and the complexity to the order of things.
Mysterious like his father, hard to read or interrupt. Is more relaxed when in the presence of people he knows and loves. Doesn't let his guard down easily, always quick to change or avoid the subject.
Loyal, desperately head over heels in love with Erin, a strong, determined and dependable leader who has known no different.
Georgina Armstrong
Middle child and only daughter of Edward & Pamela
Middle sibling to her older brother Riley and younger brother Oscar
Having grown up surrounded by family drama and upset, Georgie has escaped to Manchester. A little overshadowed by her siblings she feels somewhat disconnected to her family. Having chosen a career that her parents disapprove off, she then works extremely hard at proving them very wrong. Funny, comedic, down to earth but very sensitive. A great sister and friend who has many disastrous times.
Oscar Armstrong
Youngest son to Edward and Pamela
Youngest Armstrong sibling
Having always been trying to hard to compete for attention, Oscar is determined to be a vision of success and prove to his parents that it will be him, above Riley and Georgie that really achieves in life.
Without his parents around he is a typical joker and a jack the lad! He takes great delight in annoying and winding up his brother and sister in equal helpings. Has a wide and impressive amount of friends and refuses to settle down for anyone.
Oscar has been diffusing family tensions since Riley finished his education, so by now he's an expert mediator.
Harvey Golden Labrador
Hapless, dappy, and a little bit stupid. A touch tubby, the cause of being over indulged by Pamela.
Loves scraps, loves sleeping and loves Pamela more than anyone else in the whole Armstrong family.
Good at snoring, barking, running off and finding mud.
Sleeps by the cooker....just in case!
Favourite Human: Pamela
Favourie Food: All
Branston Jack Russel
Bouncy, yappy, and demanding. The complete opposite of his rival 'Branston' in every way. Dislikes the postman or any delivery person. Loves chasing anything that moves, especially his own shadow.
Can outrun Riley and still be full of energy. Small in size & big in personality.
Sleeps at the bottom of the stairs, just in case!
