[edit] History
Angela was the senior registrar in paediatrics at East Hampton Hospital Trust. Considering how young she is, and indeed looks, this is quite an achievement. This is hardly surprising, as Angela seems to be absolutely perfect.
She is not only incredibly talented at her job, but she can juggle, and has a Grade 7 distinction at playing the harp. She also looks perfect, using a special kit for her hair, and even irons her underpants.
She also had a steady boyfriend called Liam. Liam says that she is absolutely wonderful, but claims that "she dances like a wolf". However, Angela decided that they should split up, but this was before she knew that Liam was incredibly rich.
She used to live with Kim Alabaster in human resources, but moved to live with surgical registrar Dr. Caroline Todd as a lodger, something which Caroline was hoping against hope to avoid. Caroline does not get on well with Angela due to her absolute perfection, making her seem inferior. The biggest argument they ever had was when Angela accused her of wearing her underpants, but Caroline proved that this was not true. Angela also has her own views of Caroline. In a deleted scene, she refers to her as her, "At-Least-I'm-Not..." person, in the sense that everything may go wrong but "At least I'm not Caroline".
Angela's perfection has proved to be a big hit on television. When a documentary crew came to film the hospital, she was chosen to present, and has now since left East Hampton to pursue an acting career. She also seems to be attracted to the director, an Irishman call Patrick. It is now widely believed that the funeral the characters are attending in the clip of the Christmas Special shown on an episode of Imagine is in fact Angela's after this was announced in the British Sitcom newsletter.
This would make sense as the characters shown (Caroline, Guy, Martin, Sue and Boyce) were either not particularly close to her or didn't like her, and this is why none of them seem upset by the death. Though whether the death would be on-screen or would supposedly have happened in the time between the final episode of the second series and the christmas special is not known.
The only other main fact about her is that she was friends with Holly Hawkes, the former girlfriend of Dr. "Mac" Macartney, and was one of the first people to know about her marriage.
[edit] Relationships
[edit] Caroline
When Caroline first sees Angela, he is strangling Martin and saying some rather harsh things about him. The relationship between them appears to be one-way, in the sense that Angela is always friendly towards Caroline, but Caroline hates Angela for being so perfect. They do get on for most of the time. Angela is the only person to believe Caroline during the time Guy was spreading rumours about Caroline having sex with him.
When Caroline is looking for a lodger, she hears from Boyce that Angela is looking for accommodation. Although she gets rid of the ad to stop Angela moving in, Boyce tells her about the room, answers the advert, and eventually moves in. Caroline is not only annoyed by Angela moving in, but also by Liam coming along and frequently having sex. Sex seems to be an issue that circles around their relationship. When Angela discovered Guy's league table of women, Caroline got angry because Angela scored better on her on "Arse". They also got in a fight when Angela falsely accused Caroline of wearing her knickers.
When a television crew came to film at the hospital, Angela was the one who was going to be the star of the show, when Caroline thought that she was. She became increasingly angry, not only by the way she was getting the cameras attention (such as wiggling as she walked) but also when she was giving an acting job. Before Angela left, Caroline made it clear that she hated her. Angela replied by telling her that Caroline was "The perfect girlfriend".
[edit] Liam
It is not known how long Angela and Liam have been going out, but it has been going on for a while.
The first time they are seen together is in the car park in Liam's car, where Angela tells him that he has a bump in his nose. When Angela moves into Caroline's brother's flat, she does not tell him that Liam is moving in as well. The first time Caroline sees him is when he is making love to Angela.
Liam seems to get on well with Angela, and likes her in almost every way, except for her dancing. Angela on the other hand decides to leave him because he spends too much time playing Pokemon Pinball. She leaves a message on his phone. However, she changes her mind when he proposes marriage and Angela realises just how rich he is. Liam quickly changes his mind once he gets Angela’s message.
[edit] Other relationships
Angela seems to be popular with most of the staff members, including Guy, Mac, Boyce, and the women in human resources.
She however does not get on with Sue, and spends little time with Joanna. She is currently going out with Peter, the Irish director who took her to Toronto.
