Elle, played by Stacey Etherington, is left behind when her boyfriend Warner (Sam Gilpin) goes to Harvard University but she decides to join him and prove she is not a ‘dizzy blonde’.

She has to deal with the unhelpful attitude that the other students show towards her, especially from Vivienne (Sarah Hancock) who is Warner’s new girlfriend.

Fortunately she meets Emmett (Jordan Dickin) who supports her with good advice. Help also comes from Paulette (Lana Lewis) at the beauty salon.

Her big break comes with the court case where Brooke (Joules McLaughin) is accused of murdering her husband.
