After training in Chicago and Manchester, Abigail’s TV credits include: Young, Dumb and Dangerous and Hope Street and Big Comic Energy for BBC. Her stage credits include: Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Patriot Game and Togetherness.

Her character, Steph, is a bold, outspoken, and rebellious person with

a sharp wit and a penchant for mischief. Raised in a working class mixed-denomination family, she is the middle child, often feeling overlooked. Steph made real friends for the first time at university, after struggling to fit in at school.

Despite this, she managed to scrape together good enough grades to get into art college and ended up specialising in textile design, which she never ended up using. Her fearless attitude and mischievous nature often land her and her friends in trouble. Steph’s impulsive exterior hides moments of vulnerability.

Elliot Norman as Oli

Past credits include Jimmy Weller in ‘Grantchester’, Douglas Bennet in ’The Great Escaper’ and Joe in the premier of Angus Harrisons' debut play ‘POLKO’ at Paines Plough’s Roundabout at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023.

His character, Oli, is a complex character raised in a middle-class English household. He is naturally smart and sensitive. Oli made more sensible choices in life than the rest of the house mates and now he never hears the end of it.

Despite his tough façade, he loves his friends but masks his affection. Although he can afford to live alone, Oli needs companionship to navigate life’s challenges. His sarcasm often hides his true feelings, revealing a deeper, more sensitive nature.

Saorlaoíth was also awarded best actress for her performance of Mag in Lovers by Brian Friel at New Point Fringe Festival.

Saorlaoíth portrayed the character Rach, Steph’s best friend and puts her electric, bubbly personality as a ‘retired rocket’ to use as a school teacher.

Whilst being slightly more sensible than Steph, she loves the craic and is always there for her friends, and often is the one to steer Steph in the right direction

Her character, Ciara, is a kind-hearted, slightly naïve, and perpetually

stressed owner of the vintage shop, Steph used to work at. Ciara tries to bring order to the dishevelled environment that seems to be a result of hoarding, not careful product buying.
