## Storylines

Nicolas was born in 1996, being the reason why Leah was on maternity leave. Nicolas was indirectly the reason Lesley Barclay got her job. Nicolas was occasionally seen with his father, picking Leah up from work throughout the early 2000s. Nicolas was autistic, and left school aged 7 due to bullying from the teachers as well as the children. Nicolas was mostly an unseen character after 2007, who stayed behind with Rosemary. However in 2013, Nicolas started suffering from panic attacks, and started coming down to the office with Leah. In 2015, Leah began manipulating Nicolas. Due to Nicolas' panic attacks, on a few occasions he began looking for Leah. This was seen by Rik & Ruth, who both made up allegations that Clare was unsettled by it, which she later said wasn't true. This made Nicolas have a mental breakdown. In 2019, Nicolas was made archivist and accountant's assistant, in helping with the inspectors situation.
Nicolas has also had lots to deal with in his home life, such as abuse from his father, the loss of his grandma, Rosemary, three times (when she got alzheimers, went into a care home, and passed away), battles with panic attacks, depression, and severe ocd, which resulted in him visiting a hypnotherapist, problems in school, in which the teachers handled him badly, health problems, most recently a cancer scare, which turned out to be anxiety.

## Personality

Nicolas is mostly happy, cheerful and eccentric, who frequently laughs and comes out with obscure comments. This is largely due to his autism. However, on several occasions since 2013, has suffered from mental health problems. Nicolas has had panic attacks, which knocked his confidence greatly. Nicolas also has had depression and suicidal thoughts, and then severe OCD, which stopped him from doing everything, until he saw a hypnotherapist, which started him back on track. Nicolas felt better throughout 2016-18, however began on a downward spiral that got worse throughout 2018 and 2019. In 2020, Nicolas was terrified he has cancer, which caused him to suffer from anxiety. This turned out not to be the case, but Nicolas became more unsettled than he had been since 2015. Nicolas is due to leave, alongside Leah, in 2020/21.

Nicolas has also had small crushes on Clare Jennings & Kellie Pickard.

This upset her greatly. One day, Sally Owen, Stephanie Cooke, Ellis Davies & Audrey Evans joined in, and Daisy heard. She frequently confides in Leah & Nicolas, the only two people she trusts. Daisy was given temporary leave in March 2020 due to the office shutting due to the coronavirus. She returned in November 2020. However, Daisy left again after Ellie tested positive for Covid-19.

## Storylines

Leah is first offered a job as a receptionist by Peter. She starts and takes to the job well, however Stephanie & Eva make a mess up of the accounts two weeks in, causing Peter to lose it, making Leah the accountant. Initially using traditional techniques, she upgraded to a computer in 1997. She takes leave in 1996 when she has a son, Nicolas. In 2007, Leah starts suffering from anaemia. In 2010, The Office is thrown into turmoil when Chris Danson joins the firm, bringing a shedload of work with him. Over the years, Leah finds herself taking on more and more work, sending her stress levels through the roof. For example, in 2015, after Leah snaps at Ruth, Leah offers to help her with tapes, causing this to be indefinite. In 2018, Leah asks Gary about getting help, and Elizabeth Fenton is taken on. She seems nice to start with, however manipulates Leah into giving her the accountant job. Leah is upset by this, and feels undermined, now seen as a general dogsbody, helping Chris with things she doesn't like doing. In late 2019, Leah makes a private decision to leave the Office after 32 years, with the date being unknown, but the near future.
Leah has also had to deal with several difficult situations in her life, such as the loss of her half sister Jessie, her aunt Meg, her father Peter, and mother Rosemary, as well as problems with Nicolas, who is autistic, suffering from anaemia, and Rosemary's battle with Alzheimer's disease.

## Personality

For most of her tenure, Leah has been shown to be a caring and conscientious character, who cares about her family and working hard. However, on several occasions, Leah has had personality changes, such as during and after her spell with anaemia, she became somewhat harder and more impatient. She has also shown manipulative traits, especially to Nicolas, who he claims "treats him like her property". After Rosemary went into a care home, Leah became harder in some ways, and somewhat eccentric in others. In recent years, Leah has shown to act in a coy way around Rik & Chris, always ready to please them, despite despising them.

## Storylines

Sally joined in July 2018. Despite being nice to everyone, they looked down upon her and made a mockery of her voice, due to a speech impediment. In January 2019, Elizabeth Fenton joins, who is a close friend of hers. Sally begins to join in with Lesley & Ruth, due to them picking, even though they are horrible to her. Sally was taken on as Steve's secretary and receptionist,but has helped Chris out too. Sally was given temporary leave in March 2020 due to the office shutting due to the coronavirus. She returned in September 2020, and now works for Chris only.

In November 2022, Sally went on an extended sick leave, claiming "diabetes & work related stress". This was revealed as false, and Sally was revealed to be causing extreme problems, wanting to take the office to court. Elizabeth subsequently gave her the sack.

At home, sally has had some severe health problems, including an abscess, a blood clot, and most recently sepsis, though this was questioned. She also had Covid-19, which is also questionable.

## Personality

Sally appeared to be a calm, laid back, and placid woman, who is perceived as dopey and thick due to a speech impediment. However, she is sharper than she seems, and has quite a naughty sense of humour at times. She joins in with Lesley & Ruth's bitching, but this is more to keep on the right side of them, rather than being nasty. She also has a very two faced, backstabbing personality, which was revealed in 2022, when she tried to take the office to court.

## Family

She frequently mentions a husband, Wynn. He is a morbidly obese, and controlling, to the point where he buys all Sally's clothes, and frequently tells her what to do.

In 2014, Leah inadvertently got Steve into trouble, reporting missing files to Chris, who flew off the handle and upset him. When the inspectors were due a visit in 2018, Steve hid the letters addressed to Gary, Rik, & Chris.
Steve also is infamous for leaving early, going to pick his two daughters up from school and not returning. He is rarely seen as a result. When he is in the office, he pretends to do work, but never does.
His secretaries over the years include Lesley Barclay (1996-2018) & Sally Owen (2018-)

## Personality

From a personality point of view, Steve is a laid back man who acts friendly and loves children. However he is also dishonest and unscrupulous, and is known for stealing money and hiding files. He is also lazy and air-headed, and untrustworthy.
