Fresh Meat: The Housemates

1 September 2011

Kingsley

After years caring for his sick mum in their Essex council flat, hanging out with a few male friends and amassing an impressive collection of NMEs, Kingsley arrives in Manchester both ready to embrace life, love, sex and experience, and slightly terrified of the dive in. He's about to have the ride of his life.

 

Josie

Josie arrives at university from a small-town community in Wales, anxious to embrace everything that student life has to offer with gleeful gusto. But she has a hard time reconciling her appetites for this new exciting world with the person her previous life has moulded her into.

 

JP

JP is a public school boy who failed to get into a "proper" university, and considers himself an overlord raging hard amongst the underdogs. He is apparently by far the most self-assured of the housemates whose sense of entitlement seems to override any consideration for others. But as the series progresses, JP shows he has a sensitive side too.

 

Oregon

Oregon's main objective at university is to reinvent herself in a way that is as far removed as possible from her very middle class upbringing. An excellent student, she's terrified she might be boring, and constantly worried about what others will think. She will say and do anything that she thinks will be cool.

 

Howard

Unlike our other students Howard is already living in the shared house when we meet him. How long he has been there is difficult to determine. Howard is a defiant square. He knows his own mind and seems to be happy with his niche as an eccentric recluse.

 

Vod

Vod is fiercely independent with the type of fractured background Oregon wishes she could have invented for herself. She exudes an intimidating cool in abundance, unwilling to ever reveal a chink in her emotional armour.
