Characters

Leonard Lemon

Leonard Lemon, better known as Lenny, is the least intelligent of the trio. He does all sorts of embarrassing things like asking people for help when they do not know wha he is taling about. However, quite a few times, he has messed up things for Sally and Jamie, like the time when their hotel was to be demolished. Lenny's father worked at the council and when Lenny asked him if there had been a demolition for their hotel, his father said no, it was next door. When Lenny is asked to do something, he often takes the phrase too literally. Lenny, Jamie and Sally put in so much effort on the day of the demolition, and achieved hardly anything. Lenny is a funny, humorous but silly character at the hotel. At the beginning of every episode, Jamie says that Lenny is 'a man of many talents' but they just don't know what his talents are.

Sally

Sally is the receptionist of the hotel. She can be rather haughty and arrogant at times, but she means well. She thinks herself very glamorous and cool. In one episode she tells Lenny, "Good is Gossip magazine and bad is orange nail varnish". In one of the episodes she gets nominated for the person with the best shoes. She has a reasonable amount of common sense and thinks she is the best at acting, dancing and being good-looking. She did though, only get as far as playing the sheep in her Cinderella play at school. Sally thoughtless at times, arrogant but has a good heart.

Jamie

Jamie is the bellboy of Hotel Trubble and probably the one with the most common sense, he does at some parts, have a lack of confidence and panics. He also does embarrassing things when he is in a panic. He is always the first person to yell "Noooooo!" when its time to panic. He was also like Sally, nominated, but for being the best bellboy. He is sensitive, has strong emotions like the time Sally kissed him, he stood rubbing the spot for a long time. Jamie is a good character and always means well. He is probably the most normal of the threesome.

Mrs. Poshington

Mrs. Poshington is described by Jamie as a regular pest that never leaves. The first thing she does in the morning is comes downstairs with complaints, often with no logical answer such as: "Why is there sunlight?". She claims to be a marathon runner, the Queen's cousin, a former actress and a grandmother. In a few of the episodes, she helps Sally, Lenny and Jamie with solutions to their problems. She has great determination and gets things when she asks for them. Mrs. Poshington seems to be demanding, but kind-hearted and filled with will power.

General Sirius Poshington

General Sirius Poshington is the fake stuffed cat belonging to Mrs. Poshington. She does not seems to realize that he is not real and she pushes it on a wagon. Mrs Poshington says things like: "Sirius doesn't like running, he likes the cycling trips we go on together". She even asks Sally to look after it for her when she goes out and calls frequently during this period to ask if Sirius is alright.

Mr. Trubble

Mr. Trubble owns Hotel Trubble and calls very often. He does not use a normal phone. Every time, he uses a special red phone with a siren. Once, he threatens to fire Sally, Jamie and Lenny if they don't give him a good birthday party. Mrs. Poshington is responsible and is told that she will lose her room if the party isn't good. In one episode the Trubble diamond is brought in by an impostor who try to steal it. He first tries to accuse Sally and then Lenny. Mr. Trubble does not havea describeable personality.

Episode 1: Royal Trubble

Royal Trubble begins with Mrs. Poshington coming down with her daily dose of complaints. Sally says she is taking her lunch break. Mrs. Poshington quarrels, saying it is only just gone past breakfast time. Sally replies: "Not in Tokyo" and shows her proof by showing other world times.Then Jamie suddenly scuttles in, showing Sally the anniversary banner he made for Hotel Trubble's 100th Anniversary. He says he spent half the night doing it and asks if its good. Sally replies that its rubbish and she reckons Jamie should have stayed up the whole night doing it. Suddenly Lenny also comes in. The red phone rings (Mr.Trubble is calling) What now?...
