Character Bio

Abby was originally a keeper at Wellington Zoo, specialising in reptiles. She first encountered an anomaly when collecting a rare lizard, Rex (who turned out to be a Coelurosauravus from the Permian era) in the Forest of Dean. Her specialist knowledge of reptiles and animal behaviour made her an obvious choice to join Nick Cutter's anomaly research team (she neglected to tell him of her fear of spiders).

Her love of reptiles started on a family holiday to the Galapagos Islands as a child. She is passionate about protecting the creatures who come through the anomalies, to the point where she openly defined Philip Burton's order to destroy them and was planning to smuggle them all to a wildlife park, until Lester intervened and put a stop to the cull.

Abby at one time had a crush on Stephen Hart, but this soon faded and her affections turned to Connor. The pair finally started a relationship while they were trapped in the Cretaceous period for a year, the relationship has continued now they're back home, with Connor even suggesting wedding venues (something that seemed to startle Abby).
