Sandy Thomas
Sandy Thomas has always been able to amuse and entertain and he certainly knows how to liven up the dullest of occasions - especially if it is with inappropriate behaviour.
His confidence and bonhomie has been challenged over the past year through being the unlikely victim of domestic abuse by his son, Ashley. However, with the friendship of teenager Sean Spencer and becoming Edna's lodger, he has got his mojo back!
