Glen Wright

'Glen Joseph Wright''' is an original character in the Writers Express forum serial drama These Days, portrayed by Louise Redknapp since Episode 1. She is landlady of The Red Lion pub, which she runs alongside husband and landlord, Charlie Westaway. There they live with two of their three children: older teenagers Rory Westaway and Jess Westaway. Offscreen she has a much older daughter, thirtysomething Carla Westaway, as well as parents Maggie Baker and Phil Baker. Although glamorous, Leyla is described as down-to-earth, idealistic, warm and 'dreamy'. Despite her soft and subtle demeanour, really she is the strength and stability that makes her the anchor of her family.
