Rick Severs

Rick came to work in Leeds five years ago, which is when he first met Kate. There was an instant attraction there but Kate was already in a relationship with Rob and shortly after he met his partner Olivia.

He and Olivia now live together and have been trying for a baby, but so far they’ve been unsuccessful. After another round of IVF failed to get them pregnant, they’ve decided to take a break from trying for the time being. But the stress and disappointment has taken its toll on their already strained relationship and Rick’s hiding a secret that could push their relationship over the edge.

Rick is charming and a little bit cheeky and gets on well with his colleagues. He cares a lot about the people around him and he has a big heart, which makes him good at his job, but can also get him into trouble.
