Friday 12 December 2008

Boo, hiss - it's the Other Woman.

That Holly Harper is the cause of much distress to the Walker family. Remember the infamous cake fight between her and Nora in Series 1?

Beautiful and intelligent, she had a long-term affair with patriarch William Walker, although she always understood that her relationship with him was secondary to his family.

Holly once had a fling with Nora's brother Saul and is now CEO of Ojai Foods, much to Sarah's  chagrin.

In Series 5, Holly is suffering from a bad case of amnesia following the crash. Her ailment leads to confusion and pain, but ultimately there's hope for her future.
