Hannah Riley
It’s taken Hannah and Neil Carter a while to shake down together at Berrow Farm. When Hannah returned to Ambridge and got the job there in 2018 she thought Neil was a generous boss and that they’d make a good team. Justin Elliott considered Hannah and her ideas a welcome addition to the farm. Neil soon had to acknowledge he and Hannah are ‘very different people’, and they clashed. She didn’t agreed with some of his working methods, thinking she could do it better.
However they’ve learned to accommodate each other’s very different personalities, and were united over the threatened closure of Berrow. Hannah has also shown a more vulnerable side since she admitted she’s juggling work with managing her mother’s dementia diagnosis. Compassionate Neil has softened towards Hannah, and the two make a strong team managing the pig unit.

Hannah and Jazzer
When Hannah came to work for Tom in 2008, was smitten. At first he thought that she would find the drudgery and mud of working with pigs too much. But she proved him wrong when she sneaked up on a sickly pig and administered a much needed injection. This was the girl of Jazzer’s dreams; unfortunately the feeling wasn’t mutual.
Hannah’s eye had been caught by village hunk . Jazzer was very quick to point out that Chris was taken. But Hannah's head remained unturned when it came to the Glaswegian and the pair remained friends. 10 years on, a flame still burns for Hannah in the McCreary heart.
