List of Adrian Mole characters

1721:. The family patriarch is a drunkard named Vince who gets arrested for £140 in arrears early through the book, much to the speculation of the street, but Vince returns a few weeks later. The matriarch is a middle-aged lush named Peggy that Adrian takes a fancy to. Peggy dresses in tight leopard-print clothing, all of which is revealing. Both the Ludlows are smokers. They have three dogs and seven children, one of whom is named Brandon and was in a prison abroad. Brandon Ludlow was arrested with a lot of football louts; Peggy says that she will sue the Belgian president, once she finds out who he is. Peggy tells Adrian that Brandon is not like any of her and Vince's other children; Brandon is gentle and takes more of an interest in books than in football. Upon his return, the Ludlow family throw him a party, their second after the celebration they threw when Vince returned from prison. The Ludlows also have a baby daughter that Adrian unofficially names Emily, who he takes shopping as an excuse to see Mary-Lou Hattersly, who runs the crèche at the local 1300:) is Adrian's second girlfriend and the mother of his first child. She is introduced in Growing Pains as the girl who "will show everything for 50p and a pound of grapes", but Adrian has an unsuccessful date with her set up by Nigel. In True Confessions, Adrian has lost his virginity with Sharon, but it is obvious that neither of them has any interest in the other beyond sex. Sharon starts putting on weight, and she is referred to as overweight in the later books. After it is proven that Adrian fathered Glenn in Cappuccino Years, Sharon re-enters Adrian's life; they maintain a good relationship as parents of Glenn. It is revealed that she has seven siblings, including an older sister, Marjorie, and younger brother, Karak. Her parents are still alive. Mr. Bott is a quiet, polite man, unlike the rest of the Bott family. As Sharon ages, she gains more and more weight until she is described as obese. A character in 555:) is Adrian's first wife and mother of William, his younger son. The couple met when Adrian, still chopping vegetables for Peter Savage, met Jojo on her first day as a waitress, the same job given up by Adrian's ex-girlfriend Bianca. Jojo and Adrian's marriage was short, although long enough to conceive and produce a child, but Jojo's memories are not exactly happy ones. She claims that Adrian's conversation was far from stimulating, and one conversation that agitated her was when Adrian accused her of exaggerating her sneezes. Jojo complains that exaggerating her sneezes is the last thing she would do, being a six-foot, pregnant black woman in extravagant dress. Jojo later divorces Adrian and leaves for her native homeland of 700:, despite Adrian's assertions that this could be the signs of a gifted child - something Mrs. Bull flatly denied. Gracie usually fights back to any sort of superiority or control over her, but her grandmother Pauline has a special force, to the point that when she is finished with her Gracie is polite, courteous, quiet and wearing school uniform. When Daisy and Adrian separate, the couple share custody of her. Gracie enjoys this, as Daisy's new boyfriend, Hugo Fairfax-Lycett, gives her a pony - something that Gracie has always wanted. Gracie adores her eldest brother, Glenn. She does not like her maternal grandfather, Michael Flowers, as "he looks like a lady with a beard"; a reference to Michael's ponytail. 623:

well as Adrian. Regardless of this, Sharon's mother insists that Adrian sends Sharon some money every week to help her get by. However, blood tests prove that Adrian is indeed Glenn's father. Glenn and Adrian meet for the first time on Father's Day 1998, causing a tense atmosphere over the Mole household. Glenn's paternal grandmother, Pauline Mole (then Braithwaite) says that she can like the child, but love could take some working on. Glenn eventually leaves Sharon and moves in with his father and half-brother William. Inside a Mother's Day card for Sharon, Glenn's card reads: "You are mad and always sad, That is why I live with Dad". In his early teens, Glenn becomes obsessed with

1286:. Nigel meets Lance Lovett, who is also blind and gay, and in the final book the two marry at a local mansion. The event is organised by Adrian's wife Daisy, despite the couple being separated at the time. Both Nigel and Lance have a great sense of colour co-ordination, and decorate their flat with matching colours and candles, much to Adrian's concern. Nigel receives a guide dog named Graham, who dies in the final book and Adrian is called upon to bury the dog - the second dog in twenty years. Nigel becomes more sceptical about Adrian and his lifestyle, much to Adrian's annoyance. Nigel has a brief stint as Pandora's personal assistant. In the original TV series and in 2247:

but the marriage is over as Carlton-Hayes lives with his partner, Leslie. He and Michael Flowers once had a fight in the library car park, with Carlton-Hayes walking away the winner. Carlton-Hayes suffers from a liver disease, and is rushed to hospital where he sports blue-and-white striped pyjamas and becomes somewhat addicted to reality television programmes. After he left the hospital, he became wheelchair bound and had to close up shop due to this and lack of intakes. Adrian still tries to keep contact with his employer after the closure. Carlton-Hayes is a distant relation of Hugo Fairfax-Lycett. The bookshop was started by Hugh's father, Arthur Carlton-Hayes.

495:

Dennis, Marcia and Maurice have moved out of their caravan and into a council house, and that cousin Maurice lost a grey sock at the Mole household during his stay at Christmas, much to Auntie Marcia's dismay. Pauline replied that she would gladly come up and inspect their house and sent them a £1 note to buy Maurice a new pair of socks.

After their stay at Christmas, this particular branch of the Sugden clan is not referenced to again.

845:, but soon finds comfort from her husband George. The two couples eventually divorce and marry the other's spouse.

The couple soon divorce and Tania goes back to using the Braithwaite name. 729:. When Bianca moans that they did not tell her, Adrian claims that it was to show that they had the moral high ground. To make matters worse, Adrian's presents were disasters. Mrs. Dartington was allergic to the peach-related present he gave her, and Reverend Dartington responded frostily to the poetry and trainspotting books Adrian bought him. However, after one stay with Adrian's family, Bianca starts an affair with Pauline's much younger husband, Martin Muffet, a fellow engineer. Grandma Mole spots the two sitting together on top of a bus, and at 2257:) to look after the bookshop due to the frequent absences of both Carlton-Hayes and himself, due to illness. Bernard seems to have led a colourful life, having been born into a working-class mining family, attended Cambridge on a scholarship, risen to the rank of Colonel in the British Army and spent much of his free time in whorehouses. Adrian notes that Bernard is an expert with antique books but is not very pleasant to customers, to the point where he has been blacklisted from working at any 820:. Pauline and Ivan eventually marry, as do George and Tania. However, their marriage does not last long; on his and Pauline's honeymoon, Ivan swims back to an island thirty meters away to fetch Pauline's sunglasses which she discovered in her bag. When Ivan tried to return, he was caught in difficulty and drowned, leaving Pauline, Tania and Pandora distraught. George, unable to cope with seeing Pauline so upset, leaves Tania, divorces her and eventually remarries Pauline for the third time. 979:. He later moves into the Alderman Cooper Sunshine Rest Home for the Elderly, at the advice of his social worker Katie Bell. Bert becomes unofficially engaged to a widow named Queenie, and the two eventually get married, move into an OAP's bungalow and enjoy a happy year of marriage until Queenie dies following a stroke.

Hamish goes back home a few weeks later. Hamish re-establishes contact in 507:, where it is revealed that Pete's wife Yvonne stole a brooch that was left to Pauline in a will, and that their mother never particularly liked Yvonne. However, after slagging Yvonne off, Pete reveals that she had died the day previously. Pauline then asks for her brother to send her the brooch through the post and Pete hung up.

472:, but was turned away and upon his return burned every book - In real life Grandad Sugden has never been known to raise his voice. She describes her mother as Lady Clarissa Cavendish-Stronge, a local aristocrat who met her husband when she fell off her horse. Adrian knows this is a lie; a family rumour is that Grandma Sugden once attended a 314:(22 March 1905 – 1 March 1992), is the paternal grandmother of Adrian and mother of George and Susan.
