Additional characters

Earlier in the blog I wrote of the main characters within the film. In that post were details of two other characters who I had written who act as Alex's 'go-to' guys. It's these two characters who pick him up when he is down and try and help him pluck up the courage to speak to Alexa on the train. They were at first two male characters, but I have now changed this to show the 'good' and 'bad' sides of the equation.

TOM

Tom is the type of person who can turn his hand to anything. He's got charisma, style and confidence and is very popular with the ladies. Or at least he thinks he is. He's a typical guy who is happily set on working for the company Alex hates for the rest of his life. He has no real life ambitions but is successful at whatever he chooses to do. He has no problem talking to women which Alex is jealous of, however he very rarely makes ay progress with them.

His interests are similar to that of Alex's and deep down he's a geek at heart, but tries to mask it with a 'ladies man' persona. He's one half of the double act that picks Alex up when he is down and devise plans to encourage him to speak to Alexa (or any other woman he has feelings for). He's a smart dresser and is rarely wearing anything other than a shirt and tie combination.

LIZZIE

Lizzie, the second half of the double act. Very rarely will you see Tom and Lizzie apart. Good friends from an early age, the pair of them were working for the company long before Alex started, but soon warmed to him when they all realised they share the same interests. Rarely seeing each other outside of work however, Lizzie has to make do with seeing her closest friends when they are huddled around the photocopying machine in the office.

She's a natural blonde with similar taste in clothing to that of Alexa, sporting 60s and 70s style fashion. She's bubbly and very sympathetic as she understands the most what Alex is going through. Her guidance is always much better than that of Tom's and she's constantly steering him onto the right track so that he doesn't say things that he shouldn't.

These two characters currently only feature at the office location, emphasizing the fact that Alex is in truth 'on his own' when it comes to mustering the courage to talk to Alexa.
