Actual literal tiny little weirdo

Let's Do It
Gary and Miranda have gotten ever more chummy. At one point the pair have their heads together at the restaurant counter, while Stevie and Clive watch them. Stevie asks Clive "Do you think they know they're in love?" Clive says they don't, and then offers them vouchers for a romantic restaurant so they can see if anything will happen. They insist they are just friends, but because it's a place Gary wanted to try, they accept the vouchers and are surprised at how awkward the romantic setting has made them together. Gary asks her if "there might be an us," and suggests they sleep together, but the situation never quite works so they can.

A New Low
Stevie and Miranda are engaged in yet another competition to keep up with their new friend Tamara, who is a decade younger than them. Tamara runs them both ragged, and eventually they find themselves licking a battery to stay awake. When Tamara proposes attending a dawn to dawn concert, Stevie throws in the towel, "My name is Stevie and it's my ambition to grow vegetables and make my own ratatouille...we're very old...just consider us your Auntie Miranda and your Auntie Stevie."

The Perfect Christmas
Stevie is chuffed about doing Christmas with Miranda's parents, but Miranda is not having it. She thinks it would be better to just have her friends at her place with no over reaching plan. During a game of Charades during their Christmas sleepover, they all peeked at what Stevie was supposed to act out and all agreed not to answer correctly, making Stevie act out "No Sex Please, We're British" countless times.

Series 3[]

It Was Panning
Miranda's shop is shut, and Stevie has taken a job as an executive assistant, and is busily trying to find the right hobby to go with her new lifestyle.

What a Surprise
Gary has decided to move on and start dating, bringing Rose on the scene, pushing Miranda to do the same, wanting a date for Stevie's surprise birthday party - which Stevie is arranging for herself. Miranda is tasked with surprising Stevie enough so her expression is believable when the surprise party is thrown

The Dinner Party
Stevie shows up at Miranda's couples dinner party with her plus one; a dullard traffic warden dragged in off the street.

Three Little Words
Stevie points out to Miranda that when she tells Gary she loves him its not in the silly way they say it to each other, and asks what really makes her heart skip a beat. With Stevie's help, Miranda realizes that although she does love Mike, she's in love with Gary, and the right thing to do is to break up with Mike. Stevie affirms, "She's emotionally constipated and I'm her metaphysical prune."

A Brief Encounter
Miranda makes a big life decision - she's going traveling. She's packs her bags, she's leaving, but Stevie is devastated, saying goodbye to her friend at numerous depots only to have her back again when things go wrong, Stevie tells her, "You've had more farewells than Cher!" Finally, Stevie lets Gary know what train Miranda is leaving on, and he races to find her.

I Do But to Who?
Stevie feels excluded and abandoned by Miranda when Miranda becomes engaged to Gary Preston, especially after she intrudes on the night her friends have decided on to consummate their relationship, and Miranda and Gary chuck her out - quite literally as Gary carries her to the door. Gary then forces the two of them to go on Stevie's planned girly weekend to repair their friendship, and Miranda tells Stevie that she was all Miranda had ever really felt she had.

The Final Curtain
Stevie is at Miranda's side when she and Gary split up. She moved back in with Miranda, because her friend didn't want to be alone in the throes of her grief. Stevie is her support when Miranda realizes now that she no longer needs Gary, she still wants him.

Physical Appearance[]

Stevie is petite, about 5'1". She has long, pale blonde hair and, in Season 1, a fringe. She considers herself to be a "hot fox" and to possess the "allure."

Personality[]

Stevie is petite with a big personality, she takes her working life seriously. Managing the joke shop, she finds herself having to motivate Miranda to take work seriously. Stevie is very self confident, and believes she has more luck in romance than Miranda, because she proclaims that she has 'the allure'.

Stevie

I'm working!

When not in work-mode, Stevie is a loyal friend who supports Miranda in her time of need. It is also important to note that within their friendship, they are also very competitive and find themselves not only competing for certain men (as seen in Dog) but also for very silly things such as who can eat spaghetti bolognese the fastest with chopsticks, or who can pop the most bubbles on bubble wrap in a set amount of time. Stevie also enjoys playing ridiculous games with Miranda, both outside the joke shop and during working hours, like 'Where's Miranda?', 'Biscuit Blizzard', and 'Hopper Ball Roulette'.
