Steve- Wealthy, nice dress-suit. Turns up at Fiona's house in a sports car, this intimidates frank. Well groomed. Setting- car dealership. Suspicious face expressions and actions.

Fiona- Mother figure in family, head of family. Looks after everyone, always cleaning and caring for everyone else but herself. Dress- leisure wear, hoop earring's, stereotypical chav. Poor, receives flowers off Steve but has no vase to put them in and has to go to the local pub to ring him as she doesn't have a phone of her own.
