Disappearing staff...

[Kanna]

I have this kind of idea that the last episode Susie is in is "Pregnant", which would make sense given that even Brittas couldn't fail to notice that she's on steriods or something (and that the entire staff and his wife were covering for her), but all my episodes are way out of order... Does anyone know if I'm right, or if there was any mention of her fate or any repurcussions? It's a minor plot point in something I'm writing, and I hate messing up planning.

I have a deep fondness for the leisure centre staff who rarely show up for staff meetings and never say anything, and a sweet-looking blonde prone to homocidal drug-related outbursts is definitely a fun idea.

I think Pregnant is the only episode she's mentioned in at all and we never find out what happened to her.

Patrick seems to be the only non-main member of the leisure centre staff who is mentioned in more than one episode.

Damnit, I was sure I'd seen her around, if not named... ~grin~ People only turn up to staff meetings if required for plot purposes, I do like that.

Guess I'm free to do what I like with her, then. Thanks for your help!

I did think Sam was mentioned more than once, as well as patrick? Who seems to have changed actors, too.

They did seem to cut down on the extras used. In earlier series there were numerous extras in scenes like staff briefings, but they did disappear in the later series. I also think Patrick was played by two people from one series to another, but I could be mistaken.

I suppose the lack of extras could be explained by the staff leaving and no one applying.

Patrick was a different bloke in series one.

He's the same guy from series two onwards...but then, was he in series' 6 or 7?

i didn't like those other random staff, except in the first episode with everyone in the changing room and that one guy from the epsiode where colin is in th locker, the guy who thought Brittas was telling everyone about his criminal past

That would be Danny who entered a bigomist marriage. S1 but not first episode though.

I think the actor's name was Jake Abrams or something. He was in Red Dwarf with Chris Barrie playing "Alternate" Lister.

I suppose the extras was one way of letting people know there were more staff there that just the core cast. I mean, they were in a situation where there would be more people not like RD where you've got one man, one hologram, one computer and one life form evolved from a cat (and then a robot). There had to be other people. You couldn't run a leisure centre and be open 15 hours a day (like most are) without loads of staff and a shift rota.
