Joan (2009 character)

Following the departure of Rita Sullivan on a round-the-world cruise in 2009, Norris Cole employed a series of assistants at The Kabin who unfortunately, were not cut out for the job.

Sheila Wheeler, the first newly-appointed assistant was sacked by Norris due to her incessant wittering (also her dismissal rendered her speechless) and she was quickly replaced by Joan. At her "interview", Norris was impressed with her Curriculum Vitae and the quality of paper that had been used, but soon after offering the position it became apparent that Joan was the exact opposite of Sheila and he couldn't get a word out of her.

Trying to get Joan to interact with the customers proved fruitless, although Norris saw a breakthrough when she admitted that she liked working at The Kabin as it made the days go by quickly, although following her admittance she fell silent once more. Norris saw no option but to get rid of Joan and wrote out a "Situation Vacant" sign to place in the shop window.
