Christopher Leech

Played by Ryan McParland

The closet IT geek who’s determined to fit in with the crowd, Leech has been out to prove himself ever since he arrived in Belfast. Leaving a trail of destruction in his wake, he’s stumbled from one crisis to the next, but with ex-girlfriend Carly back on the scene and laden with baggage, is Leech finally ready to leave the student life behind and grow up?

It's a double-edged sword; you've got a lightness of touch and a little bit of madness thrown in
