Lindsay

**Lindsay** is a minor character in the Prime Video series *Good Omens*.

## Significance in series

### "The Arrival"

When Maggie comes to Nina's coffee shop to get something for the end of the day and she starts getting carried away, Nina mentions that her partner is expecting her home and that she needs to close. She brings up how her partner doesn't like it when she's late, which is why she needs Maggie to hurry up.

Nina visibly starts to panic when Crowley accidentally turns on the security system, making all of the doors lock and keeping Maggie and her inside.

Even after knocking on the windows and holding up signs, they did not succeed to get any help. Nina decides to drink from her emergency wine, and although Maggie doesn't drink, she tells Nina that she doesn't judge her for it. Nina says that has enough judgment in her life already, claiming that her phone will blow up with worried messages from her partner, Lindsay, the moment her phone goes back up. Misunderstanding Nina's situation, Maggie tells her that it must be nice for Nina to have someone who cares for her. Nina hesitantly replies that Lindsay likes it when she messages them when she's gonna be more than 10 minutes late.

Crowley turns the power on again, making their phones also get their power back. As Nina said, her phone blows up with messages from her partner, although they are rather angry than worried. Lindsay writes things like "I'm so done with this",  "You have a great deal of explaining to do", and "Please remember what we agreed about mutual respect?" and so on.

### "The Clue"

Nina tells Crowley that Lindsay wasn't impressed when she came home late without texting them first. Furthermore, she says that it wasn't a pleasant evening.

### "I Know Where I'm Going"

While making Mrs. Sandwich's orders, Nina's phone notification sound goes off repeatedly. Mrs. Sandwich advises her not to look at it, which she does anyway. Knowing that the message isn't particularly positive, she mentions that Nina makes better coffee when she's happier, to which Nina replies that she's perfectly happy, getting interrupted by more text messages. After making another comment about Lindsay, Nina annoyedly says that her relationship isn't any of her concern.

When Muriel asks Nina directly about her love life, she kicks them out.

Maggie later wants to talk with Nina about the night they got locked inside the coffee shop. Nina confesses that Lindsay thinks she had had an affair behind their back since she wasn't texting them back that night and that she doesn't know how to cope with that.

### "The Hitchhiker"

When Nina goes back to work, she gets another message from Lindsay, saying that they were angry at her for leaving that particular morning as well as calling her self-centered and saying she has no self-respect.

### "The Ball"

While Nina is cleaning up a blackboard, she gets another message from Lindsay, seemingly a final one. The message states where her keys are and that Lindsay doesn't want her to contact them again. Adding another one, they say that they are gonna be staying with their sister, making a passive aggressive remark about Nina caring only about herself. Nina doesn't know how to deal with that, hitting the counter and cursing in the middle of her coffee shop.

Nina, upset, tells Crowley that her partner broke up with her and that she's gonna go home and try to cope with alcohol and crying in a now empty flat.

While Nina dances with Maggie at the monthly Shopkeepers and Street Trader Association meeting, she informs her that Lindsay has broken up with her, claiming that the night she didn't text them back was the last straw and that it was bound to happen. She also tells Maggie that she doesn't think Lindsay actually liked her very much.

## Personality

Lindsay is a very controlling person, becoming incredibly angry whenever Nina is away from home. When Nina and Maggie are trapped in the coffee shop, Lindsay suspects that Nina is cheating on her due to the fact that Nina isn't texting her, even though this was due to Nina's phone malfunctioning. Lindsay also seems to be angry about the fact that Nina left the house to go to work at all after the night Nina came home late.

Shortly after they break up, Nina says she isn't sure if Lindsay had ever really liked her in the first place.

## Notes and trivia

* Lindsay canonically doesn't have any confirmed pronouns, nor is their gender ever mentioned. Neil Gaiman has said on Tumblr that it didn't matter if Lindsay identified as male or female, which is why they have a gender neutral name with no pronouns.
* Lindsay is not portayed by anyone. The character is not shown at all in the series and is entirely characterized by their angry text messages to Nina.
* Lindsay's messages are shown as aggressive writing on crumbled pieces of paper, visualizing their texts for the audience. When they broke up with Nina, their messages were shown on a blackboard instead with the writing made from chalk. Nina wipes the messages away.
* There is an X-Ray video for episode 5 where it is explained that artists used many ways to make Lindsays texts seem angry on the chalkboard.
