Character History[]
Series 6[]
Rich Hardbeck and Alo spy Poppy at a rave. She approaches them and asks Alo if he wants to "monkey fuck". After pulling him away from Rich, she tells him that she's found a secret stash of alcohol and the two go off to make cocktails. Mini McGuinness eventually approaches the pair and Alo introduces them to each other before Mini eventually walks away, clearly hurt by the fact that Alo is spending time with another girl.
Alo takes Poppy home and she kisses him goodbye. He ends up taking Poppy for a picnic lunch in the woods in his tractor, and while there, they share a kiss, and Alo asks if she will be his girlfriend. Poppy agrees, and, after performing a dance number while wearing only their underwear, they go upstairs to have sex. However, as Alo is in the middle of the act, he notices several childish toys and posters lining the walls and furniture, and then a school uniform hanging in Poppy's wardrobe, which has a crest on the lapel that he recognises. Suddenly frightened, he stops the sex at once and demands to know how old Poppy is, and she reveals she is thirteen. Alo, horrified that he is now technically a pedophile, tells Poppy that she is too immature to understand what they did wrong. He flees from her house, narrowly avoiding her parents arguing in the kitchen.
Alo eventually goes back to Poppy's house and break up with her. However, it is her fourteenth birthday and Poppy has been bragging to her friends about it, resulting in Alo's break-up attempt causing her utmost humiliation and devastation. In her anger, Poppy reports Alo to the police, resulting in him being dragged out of his exam, charged with statutory rape and suspended from school. After being bailed out by Rich, Alo reluctantly calls Poppy and berates her for her actions, but as she is about to apologise, the phone is grabbed by her aggressive father, who threatens Alo and hangs up.
Later on, Alo goes back to Poppy's house a third time to confront her parents. There, Poppy tells her parents that what she told the police was a lie, only for a massive argument to erupt between Poppy's parents, and Alo, seeing how upset Poppy is with it, ends it by bellowing at the two to shut up. He tells the father that Poppy's allegations are true, and he indeed engaged in sexual activity with her without knowledge of her age. Unfortunately, he ends up getting beaten up and then thrown out by Poppy's father, who tells him that he will see him in court.
Near the end of the episode, Alo recieves a phone call from Poppy, who tells him that her parents have split up and that her mother has forced her father to drop the charges and threatened to report him for beating Alo up the night before.
Trivia[]
- Even though Poppy is younger than Alo, ironically the actress who played her, Holly Earl, is actually older than the actor who played Alo.
