Connor drifted into nursing when a sporting injury
in his last year of high school had him spending a
month in hospital at a time in his life when he was
fishing around for direction.
He enjoys the work and is good at it but
considers it to be very much a job - not his whole
life. His quick sense of humour, open nature and
good communication skills make him popular
amongst patients and colleagues.
His mother works in one of the bars in the
Leagues Club where the hospital staff often drink.
She has always been hugely proud of Connor, of
his looks and charm and the qualities which got
him a university degree in nursing and his present
job. He is the second of her sons, and always,
unfairly, the preferred one. Connor thinks the
world of her too. He often drops in to the bar to
chew the fat with her - when she isn't playing
bingo. His dad died when he was 12 and it has
been his mother's goal in life to see that Connor
never suffered because of it.
Connor's close relationship with his mother has
meant that he has always enjoyed a special
rapport with women, but it frustrates him when his
female colleagues (especially Bron) treat him like
a brother rather than a potential love interest.
Connor's ability to breeze through life, avoiding
responsibility wherever possible, brings him into
sharp contrast with his friend and flatmate Jared.
