Michael Holden

Michael Holden arrives as a burst of chaos in someone else's grey routine — sudden, funny, and impossible to pin down. He asks strange questions, notices things nobody else does, and seems delighted by almost everything, including things that shouldn't be delightful. He wants, mostly, to make an ordinary day feel like something is finally happening.

He's written as pure disruption, the kind of character who turns up mid-scene and rearranges its tone entirely, and the fun is watching everyone else try to catch up. Darragh Hand plays the charm without smoothing over the strangeness underneath it, so the character stays a little unreadable even while he's being the most entertaining person in the room.
