Main characters
Introduced in series 1
Troy Ganatra (Paul Bazely, series 1–3, 8–9; guest, series 4) is married to Gavin and a frequent holidaymaker at the Solana. After a one-night stand with Mateo, Troy proves his commitment to Gavin by proposing. Troy reveals that he is the father of a young adult named Jamie from a previous relationship before he came out as gay, with Gavin supporting him and suggesting to invite Jamie to join them on their holiday. Troy later discovers that his estranged father is dying and remains home to support him, whilst Gavin takes their annual holiday to Benidorm with Kenneth Du Beke taking Troy’s place. Troy returns and reveals his father left his entire estate to him in his will, making them wealthy as his father was a major property landlord in their local Derby area. This takes a toll on their marriage due to the stress that running the properties has on Troy. Troy returns to Benidorm for Donald Stewart’s funeral where he reveals he and Gavin have ended their marriage and he subsequently becomes the owner of the Blow ‘n Go hair salon situated in the Solana, causing friction with head stylist Kenneth over his authority. Troy later sells the salon to Jacqueline. Martin Weedon (Nicholas Burns, series 1–3; recurring, series 6) is the socially awkward, anxious husband of Kate. Desperate to be respected and admired by his wife, he is repeatedly undermined by his own bad decisions in his attempts to save his marriage. His discovery of Kate’s infidelity triggers a breakdown that exposes his vulnerability and begins a long-running feud with Solana barman Mateo, who he defeats in an arm wrestling competition. Despite his separation from Kate, he returns to the Solana with a new holiday companion named Brandy in the third series, where he attempts to step out of his comfort zone and appeal to her working-class, less luxurious lifestyle. After being robbed by Brandy, he attempts to reconcile with Kate, which is unsuccessful, whereas his distant relationship with his self-absorbed mother is also explored. He returns home attempting to rebuild himself after the conclusion of his marriage, with his pride and poor judgement having continued to sabotage him throughout their separation period. He briefly returns in the sixth series as a member of his friend’s stag party, where they cause chaos around the Solana pool area and bribe staff to allow their behaviour through financial gain. He has a one night stand with the much younger, glamorous Bianca Dyke though a subsequent date is unsuccessful as his attempts to impress her are thwarted. In a rare form of luck, he manages to win big in a casino, marking his final appearance.
