Elena is an Eastern European émigré who meets both Mark and Jeremy one day waiting for the lift at Apollo House. She is played by Vera Graziadei.

Elena is a self-absorbed and chaotic young woman who works part time as a legal secretary in human rights law at London Immigration Advice Network. She deals cannabis on the side. When she and Jeremy become involved, he has to bail her out on more than one occasion, not the least of which is taking the rap for her when she is caught watching porn at work. Elena is a musician, having studied violin to a relatively advanced level, as well as some piano.

She has a sexual attraction towards single fathers, and later reveals herself to be bisexual. She is in a long-term relationship with Gail who lives in flat 16. She hides this fact from Jeremy at the start of their relationship, which causes major problems when everything (including Jeremy) conspires to expose their secret affair.

She is very flighty, has trouble with relationship communication, and seems to be an equal intellectual match for Jeremy. She likes spelt bread and claims to be wheat-intolerant.

After the events of Series 6, it is not known if she and Gail remain together.


Trivia

  • Elena's nationality and ethnicity is never explicitly revealed.
