Jamie Winton

Jamie Winton is one of the main characters in the show and it follows him as he tries to find his birth mother, in order to find his twin, in order to find his missing wife. Jamie is portrayed by Mathew Baynton.

## Appearance

Jamie is a slim Caucasian man in his early-thirties. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and is identical to Ariel. At work, he wears a suit, but for most of the show he is wearing a light blue button-up, jeans, and a green jacket.

## Personality

Jamie is a kind, caring person (the Light to Ariel's Dark). His fatal flaw is caring too much about people, even if they've hurt him. This is especially shown when he insists on rescuing Mary from the mental hospital, despite having never met her and despite her having abandoned him as a baby.

When Jamie is upset, he gets panicked and flustered. After finding out about his twin, he frantically searches the house for his passport, only to find out that his best friend, Dave, has taken it for safe keeping. Dave has to repeatedly calm Jamie down during the series and is one of the only people Jamie listens to. When upset, Jamie gets on a one-track mind and that causes him to act selfishly, but he always shows remorse and tries to make things better once someone points it out.

Jamie really likes his routines and hates it when they're disrupted. Even when Dave tries to mess with his egg cook time, Jamie smugly tells him that he was keeping track of it on his watch too.

## Background

Not much is known about Jamie's childhood, other than that it was a very happy one. Paula found him in an old shoe box in a church parking lot when he was only a week old and adopted him, keeping his adoption a secret.

## Quotes

* "You left me in a car park!"
* "I'm just a normal guy, like Ariel. Well... not exactly like him."

## Affiliations

#### Dave Bosley

Dave is Jamie's roommate. They are shown to have a friendly relationship, with Jamie balancing out Dave's random behaviour. When Dave and Paula announce their marriage to whom they think is Jamie, it is revealed Jamie and Dave have known each other since their youth by Ariel under the guise of Jamie.

#### Paula Winton

Paula is Jamie's adoptive mother, and raised him after finding him as a new-born infant in a church parking lot. She and Jamie are on friendly terms, with Jamie caring deeply for her even after she breaks the news to him that he is adopted after 30 years.

#### Layla Winton (Hawkwind)

Layla is Jamie's wife and the mother of his daughter. Despite disappearing for 7 years after their honeymoon, Jamie cares very much about her, going so far as to create daily video dairy entries addressed to her (see 34 Days To Go). Layla later reveals that she and Frankie watched these every day, explaining why Frankie recognised her father during their first time meeting despite Jamie never knowing of her existence previously. Layla and Jamie appear to truly love each other, despite Layla revealing her initial reason for interacting with Jamie was to play a twisted game ("Doofus") with Ariel.

#### Ariel Conroy

Ariel is Jamie's identical twin and the spite of Jamie's existence during the length of the show. They both are shown to despise each other, with Jamie angered by his violent actions (such as knocking him out, pretending to be him, kidnapping Frankie, etc.), and Ariel angered by his mother constantly comparing him to Jamie during his childhood. It is later revealed that the two married the same woman (Ariel marrying her whilst she went by Hawkwind, Jamie whilst she went by Layla), and that Ariel, using his skills in hacking) ruined parts of Jamie's life, such as his university exam results, in a game called "Doofus", which Layla took part in.
