Character history

Lee's first appearance was in the back of a police car. He was always in trouble and failed his exams numerous times due to his workshy attitude. He enjoyed money making schemes that often went wrong, and he dodged any hard work if he could. He had a long-running on-off relationship with Abby Davies, who he believed was his Juliet to his Romeo. They were always falling in and out of love with each other, usually when Lee messed up by lying to her, or on one occasion having a fling with her best friend Zara Morgan. Lee proposed to Abby before she left for University in Brighton. She accepted and after only a week apart, Lee annoyed everyone by pining after her and being miserable and lovesick. They broke up after Lee visited her only to find her in bed with someone else. She broke off their engagement explaining how she had made a mistake in accepting his proposal and that they were just not meant to be.

Lee moved on to become a student at the college taking a course in Beauty Therapy. He wanted to do film studies, but this was the only course he could get in with his grades and lack of work. He actually made a success of this and became College president, but his ego grew too big and he alienated best friend Bombhead while being set up for fraud by deputy Chris Fenwick. He and Zara became close again after they were both kicked out of college. The two left the village together, with eco-warrior Zara convincing shallow Lee to come with her to do voluntary work overseas.
