Elle has an easy-going, chaotic, warm and durable personality. She decided to go back to work to escape the domestic chaos of her home-life, only to be thrown back into the breach every time she steps through the ED doors. She strives to leave her maternal role behind her and be strictly Elle the professional, but is always pulled back to being Elle the mother, whether that means providing a shoulder to cry on, a harsh reality check, a wise moral compass, or simply someone to pick up after the young’uns and be the only one to unload the staffroom dishwasher every flippin day. But what she would never admit is that she wouldn’t have it any other way.
After being out-of-touch with the professional world for a decade or so whilst bringing up a gaggle of teenage boys as a single Mum, Elle initially struggles to get her head around life in a fast-paced, modern ED. But her integral medical instinct, coupled with an amazing ability to multi-task, makes Elle a brilliant consultant, which the rest of the team are quick to acknowledge as they welcome her into the fold. Her quick instinct and rebellious streak can sometimes lead to arrogance and recklessness, but no one could ever say that she lacks confidence or courage.
