Hotel
Babylon
Staff Profiles
Charlie
Edwards (Max Beesley) – General Manager of Hotel Babylon,
33, attractive, technically single but has had flings with both Jackie
and boss Rebecca in previous series of Babylon – who is next on
his hit list? A jack of all trades, master of none, Charlie is our "everyman"
and introduces us to the world of the hotel – giving us all the
tips and exposing the dirty little secrets we need to know. Likeable
and charming, he possesses impressive moral standards, which is interesting
considering his complex past. Just as driven and ambitious as his predecessor,
Charlie is determined to make his mark and ensure the hotel's standards
and profits are at an optimum. However, running a tight ship and delivering
on target comes at a price and Charlie soon learns that as GM his decisions
aren't always going to be popular with the Babylon employees.
Tony
Casemore (Dexter Fletcher) – Concierge, approaching 40,
married with children, but with the hours he works, he doesn't get to
see much of them. As Concierge, he's a true specialist – he knows
everything the guest needs to know – he can get you anything,
from anywhere, and always within 24 hours. An effortless charmer and
easy-going, he has worked in the hotel business for years and knows
it inside out.
Anna
Thornton-Wilton (Emma Pierson) - Head Receptionist Anna is
27 and...let's say...aspirational. She works in the luxury hotel business
because she feels completely at home there – but really working
there is the only way she can afford to be a part of it. She's gorgeous
and knows it and, as far as she's concerned, it's only a matter of time
before she bags a wealthy and eligible man. Her sole ambition is to
marry into the lifestyle she believes she deserves. But her plans become
unstuck when Anna finds herself head over heels in love and not with
the wealthy entrepreneur she's always dreamed of...
Jackie
Clunes (Natalie Mendoza) – Head of Housekeeping, 29,
Australian. A staunch team player, Jackie is always fiercely protective
of the below-stairs staff - those whom the guests rarely see. She always
goes the extra mile for her team but sometimes finds herself in deep
trouble as a result and series three is no exception. Jackie is tested
to the limit and when things go horribly wrong there is only one person
she can turn to.
Gino
Primirola (Martin Marquez) – Head Barman, 43, half-Italian,
half-Spanish. The luxury end of the market is awash with Spanish barmen,
but Gino is particularly proud of his dual identity. While his background
might be slightly chequered, he's undeniably clean and kind-hearted.
His strong, unique morality somehow seems to stop with the ladies and
his position within the hotel is threatened when long-lost brother Ginelli
turns up at Babylon.
Ben
Trueman (Michael Obiora) – Receptionist, 24. Lloves the
luxury hotel world because of its style and inherent campness. Ben has
been at Babylon for two years but is still intimidated by some of his
colleagues and when new Head Chef Otto Clark throws his weight around,
Ben faces the ultimate dilemma. His impeccable moral convictions could,
however, be his saving grace.
James
Schofield (Ray Coulthard) – Food & Beverage Manager,
40. Extremely pretentious and rather old school. James knows the value
and importance of all things luxurious and gets a huge kick from ordering
the finest produce. He just can't help looking down his nose at people
who can't pronounce foreign labels but it is exactly this snobbery that
lands him in hot water.
Jack
Harrison (Lee Williams) – New Deputy Manager, quietly
confident but a tad too big for his boots, not to mention wet behind
the ears. When Charlie sets him an interview task of looking after the
most difficult guest Babylon has ever had - Mr Delaney - will Jack rise
to the occasion?
Emily
James (Alexandra Moen) – New Head of PR: beautiful, ambitious
and wants to put Hotel Babylon back on top following a dodgy restaurant
review. However she gets off to a rocky start by posing as a journalist
and interviewing her future colleagues - who divulge a little too much
information. She will need to earn their trust if she is to last longer
than one week at the hotel.
Tanya
Mihajlov (Danira Govic) – Chambermaid, 26. Hails from
somewhere in the Balkans but nobody quite knows where (or cares). She's
sulky and refuses to clean anything beyond her call of duty. Would love
to move to a front of house job, but has a long way to go. Her attitude,
if nothing else, would have to change!
