Georgie has long been one of my favourite Piffling residents to write for, though it wasn't until we cast Ciara Baxendale in the role - way back in May 2015 - that the character came together in my head. Initially she was to have been an archetypal long-suffering lackey, and that's how she was written in my earliest drafts, yet she wasn't really leaping off the page and my fellow Series 1 writers weren't entirely sure what to do with her. I decided to take the character in a different direction. Making her entirely unflappable - and great at everything - gave us all far more to work with, and then Ciara's casting provided that distinctly deadpan delivery that made her seem, if anything, more surreal than anybody around her. I'm very pleased to have written the first "Georgie episode," which gives her a chance to interact with the wider world of Piffling - and places her in the middle of a very difficult situation indeed...
