Stuart Plant

Stuart grew up in a working-class family in East London. He joined the police force after leaving school, driven by a sense of duty and a desire to make a difference. He's dedicated to his job but the pressures of policing in a busy city, combined with personal challenges, have taken a toll on his mental health. He battles with depression and stress which have worsened over the past year, contributing to his erratic behavior. He has a strained relationship with his family, largely due to his reluctance to discuss his struggles. Stuart has a history of minor disciplinary actions related to his temper, though nothing serious. He is aware of his issues, but reluctant to seek professional help. His aggressive tendencies have been exacerbated by his unrequited feelings for his colleague. Today's incident—becoming 'hands on'—represents a significant escalation; a desperate and inappropriate attempt to express his feelings compounded by his emotional instability. This incident is likely to have serious repercussions for his career.
