Position: Harchester United FC Receptionist (1999)

Last Seen: Leaving to become a music reporter after getting her way with Wes at last.

 

Always with a happy, optimistic view on life, Zena was hired as club receptionist as Harchester United was making the move from Addison Road to its new home at the Dragon's Lair.

 

She makes friends with fellow workmates and girls her age, Julie Alexander and Kelly James, and when a plane crash kills members of the team travelling back from a game in Amsterdam, Zena shows her initiative as a club employee and her worth as a friend, especially to Kelly and Billy O'Neill - though she also drives him mad! And although dizzy, she doesn't let anyone walk over her or get away with being disrespectful - as team loudmouth Scott Lucas discovers one night when Zena is armed with a pint of lager!

 

Zena is excited when Wes Kingsley is a new signing in the aftermath of the crash, and Zena often gets flustered with something as simple as talking to him. Wes on the other hand, feels Zena comes on way too strong in her advances! When it is learnt that Zena has won her dream job interviewing famous music stars however, they take the opportunity to have a 'goodbye' one-night-stand.

 

One is left to wonder if Zena ever got to sit down and chat with Mel B?
