Gary
Zoe's dad Gary used to work in an ice-cream factory packing boxes - his dream was to invent a new icecream which he would sell to make his family rich. But, sadly his wife died and then also the factory closed down. He met and married Sheila and is now forced to do lots of dead end jobs, to help fund Sheila's prawn cocktail crisps habit.
