Gabrielle Thomas

Gabrielle hasn't had it easy, being abandoned by her mother when she was still a baby and then coping with her father and stepmother splitting up following Ashley’s domestic abuse of Gabby’s grandfather, Sandy.

That being said, she is the apple of her father (Ashley) and step-mother’s (Laurel) eye. Her mother (Bernice) does love her but Gabrielle knows how to play her, ensuring she gets showered with treats and lack of discipline. She is very close to her younger half brother Arthur.
