Brenda Holloway was the alcoholic nursing manager. She arrived in 2006 and despite sparking up a friendship with Yvonne Jeffries (Alison Quigan) and generally getting on well with the staff, it soon became apparent Brenda had a serious drinking problem. She went power crazy following a promotion and even arrived to work drunk. Her estranged husband Gary (Tim Bray) died in 2007, potentially leaving her with custody of their son – Lachlan (Jonathan Mahon-Heap). Lachlan ended up with Gary's boyfriend and Brenda began drinking again. Following the spree of a serial killer dubbed the Ferndale Strangler, Brenda began investigating into a series of mysterious cardiac arrests linked to the killer. However on Halloween 2007 when Brenda finally discovered the killer's true identity, he murdered her whilst dressed in costume.
