Esther
The granddaughter and Steph 2.0 Frankie never knew she needed, Esther made a kick-ass entrance in 2011, hiding out in the Osbornes’ attic with her hood up, living off Duncan’s custard creams, and then getting her head boshed with a cricket bat by Tom when he took her for an intruder. Gets extra points right off for getting Tom a juvenile criminal record.
Inevitably taken in as one of Frankie’s waifs and strays, Esther developed a major crush on Ruby and her amazing boobs. She even managed to cop a snog, and it looked like we were in Sugar Rush territory, but Ruby took a sociopathic turn and took to bullying her instead. Finally located her spine when she got her first holiday romance with carrot-top Tilly. Rubes admitted she wouldn’t know what to do without Esther to be mean to, and they settled into spiky co-dependency in which Esther keeps the peace by letting Ruby think she’s in charge. The French and Saunders of the village. We like Esther. But don’t let her give you a makeover.
“Six degrees of Brendan Brady” interesting factoid:
Was once made to scrub the Chez Chez toilets with a toothbrush by Brendan, as punishment for nicking a bottle of wine. Won’t be doing that again in a hurry, we’ll bet.
