Minor Characters

• Katie Henshaw (Vicky Connett) - Katie, introduced in series 1, is Donna's younger teenage sister, who tried seducing Gaz.
• Pete Smith (Rob Jarvis) - Pete is Janet's father; protective of her, he does not approve of Jonny. Pete is introduced in series 3 when, offscreen, he refuses Jonny's request to marry Janet, and is first seen in the episode "Hospikal" when he is inveigled into agreeing to pay for the wedding after all when Jonny discovers that Pete is having an affair with Flo. A down-to earth scouser from Toxteth, he works as a builder and plays darts for his local pub team. In Series 4, in the episode "Homeless and Horny", he throws Jonny out of the house he and Janet live in after their break up; this is his last appearance in the series.
• Andy (Oliver Boot)- Janet's previous boyfriend whom she bumps into again in series 2 and they kiss. Although this doesn't lead to anything, Jonny is jealous and confronts Andy in his home in the final episode. While there, Jonny steals a ring which he later uses to propose to Janet. Louise goes out with Andy in the first episode of series 3, attracted by his wealth, but he leaves her in the restaurant to pay the bill.
• Phillip (Alan Westaway) - Phillip is Donna's self-confident, but arrogant university tutor; he tries to persuade Donna to have sex with him in return for good marks. Gaz finds out about the arrangement and confronts Phillip while he and Donna are having brunch; this cures Gaz's impotence.
• Arthur - Arthur is the most frequent regular at The Archer, appearing in many scenes but never speaking. He has sex with Kelly on several occasions, and once kisses Jonny in an attempt to find out whether Jonny is really gay. At the beginning of series 7, he has recorded some soundbites, not all of them appropriate, for Louise, to help her through her vocal problem. He appears through the final episode in series 9, his last moment being having his head stuck to the table by Cassie so she can watch him struggle.
• Dion (Robert Hartley)- Dion is Donna's younger brother. An unpleasant teenager, his only appearance is in the series 6 episode "Closing Time", in which Gaz agrees to look after him against Donna's wishes. However, it appears that he has had sex with Louise during her earlier "alcoholism" and is the father of her baby. Donna implies to Gaz that she has asked Dion to move in with them, but by series 7 he has moved to Bolton.
• Brian (Colin McFarlane) - Brian is Louise's biological father, and when she is given a photograph of him is horrified to discover that he "...wears socks with sandals." He is tracked down by Louise, using only the angle from which the photograph has been taken—and the address written on its back. When they meet in The Archer for the first time, it becomes clear that Brian is a con-man. When Jonny turns up, Brian takes a shine to him. Jonny eventually realises that he is gay this and rejects Brian, who in turn reveals that he is an alcoholic.
• Louise Louise Brooks (Gracie Eve and Amelie Rose Pelta) - Louise's baby with Donna's younger brother Dion. Donna tells Munch that as he was her birthing partner, the baby would be named Louise Munch Brooks, but she's lying.
