Noel Garcia played by Tony Marshall is a Receptionist who first appeared on 5 January 2008. His character Noel knew his father was in a care home but discovers at the end of 2009 that he has serious dementia.
The BBC described him as "the practical joker of the bunch", who believes he is only working on the reception as a stop-gap before his big break. Noel is "very much a people person", and "the Laurel to Big Mac's Hardy". Marshall was cast in the role having been out of work for six months, and admitted to being nervous about joining, but commented: "it is such a well run show that on my first day, I felt like I'd always been here."

Famous quotes containing the words noel and/or garcia:
“Are we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labour in your fields and serve in your houses—that man your navy, and recruit your army—that have enabled you to defy the world, and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob; but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What peaches and what penumbras! Whole families shopping at night!
Aisles full of husbands! Wives in the avocados, babies in the
tomatoes!—and you, Garcia Lorca, what were you doing down by
the watermelons?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
