Angie

Angie (played by Andree Bernard) is Gordon Brittas's first secretary when the leisure centre opens, and appears throughout the first series.

She is a caring and relatively calm character who is very similar in personality to Laura. Despite her obedient nature, she does portray a nastier, more reactionary streak at times, similar to Julie, her later replacement. She is good friends with Carol and is often seen lending her support through her emotionally dark times. Angie also defends Carol against criticism from Brittas, even going so far as to tip three cups of coffee on the reception floor in protest.

Angie appears very similar to Julie - both have blonde hair and wear classy female office clothes. However, Julie has a far more blunt and aggressive nature than Angie. Julie appears from series two onwards, and Angie's disappearance and replacement is never actually explained in any episode of the show.
