Joanne Tyler Hawkins Joanne Tyler Hawkins is an 18 year old English student at King’s College, London and is an aspiring poet. Coming from an upper middle class background, she grew up in a small village on the outskirts of Cambridge. She is the witty, sarcastic girlfriend of Frankie Rouges and

takes every opportunity she has to get at him or embarrass him. She is a very attractive young woman and uses this to win some people over. She has a younger sister, Louise, who frequently argues with and moans about consistently.

Like Frankie, she stands below 5ft 7 inches tall and shares many common interests with him, including indie music and chinese cuisine. However, she does not share his enthusiasm and support for The Red Hand Gang, calling them “Dull” and “Unimaginative”. As the band begin to pursue more into crime, she distances herself from Frankie more and more. She is very close friends with Frankie’s roommate, Doc and, when not with Rouges, is usually having a coffee and catching up on the failing love life of his.The actress to take on this role would have to be short, have an innocent face, and should have a mysterious way about the way about her, mainly through facial expressions. They would also have to be well spoken. I feel that Rachel Shelley would be an appropriate actress as she meets the innocent facial description and shows an outgoing attitude when she acts. Sophie Ellis Bextor, the well known british pop singer, could also play this part, as she has a particularly mysterious and reserved attitude.
