Bradford Meade
Head of the Meade Family and owner of Meade Publications, Bradford has led a very full life, and it's all come back to haunt him.

His wife Claire is in rehab due to his long-term affair with former Editor-in-Chief of Mode, Fey Sommers. However the booze didn't stop her being sober enough to cut Fey's brakes, sending her to a fiery death which Bradford has been framed for.

He's also lost his first son and apple of his eye Alex, in a freak heli-skiing accident, meaning his feckless younger son Daniel has to take the reigns at Meade Publications. Until Alex comes back as beautiful blonde Alexis that is, and reveals Bradford forced him to fake his death rather than openly having the sex-change operation.

With his wife in jail, his lover dead, one son a daughter and the other a serial-philanderer, Bradford's unlikely to go quietly into that good night.
