* ImplausibleDeniability: Tends to lie, then awkwardly attempts to bluff her way through it, which rarely works. Her worst attempt was claiming the, ahem, ''outfit'' she had on to "surprise" Mac with when Mac came home with Holly and Mackenzie in tow was what she planned on wearing for dinner with her "Uncle".
* LooseLips: Probably shouldn't have told Sue White that she had feelings for Mac.
* BadassBiker: Has a motorbike, which he keeps in one of the lifts in the hospital. He also likes to drive around on it naked.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Becomes very antagonistic towards Lyndon because Joanna flirts outrageously with him, but he seems oblivious to the fact that Lyndon finds Joanna "disturbing". [[FridgeLogic Or maybe he just doesn't want to acknowledge Joanna doesn't really like him that much.]]
** Interestingly, in a deleted scene with Sue White, Angela even lampshades it, saying she is ambitious, driven and will do ''anything'' to get ahead. The "niceness" is all a front. It's hard to tell if she meant it or if she was trying to big herself up to Sue, however.

** She really doesn't like Holly. [[EnemyMine She even seems to put aside her hostility towards Caroline while Holly's around.]]
* SirSwearsALot: Swears frequently and pretty casually.
* BitchAlert: She's needlessly sarcastic, bitter and insulting to pretty much everyone (especially Alan), but she sometimes tries to put on a syrupy, pleasant façade in front of Lyndon. [[GenreSavvy Naturally, she's not fooling anyone.]] Amusingly, Alan even subtly makes fun of her for this. (Albeit not to her face).
* NakedInMink: Tries to seduce Lyndon this way. It doesn't work.
* TheScapegoat: He has zero interest in Joanna and merely tries to politely rebuff her advances, but it doesn't stop Alan from threatening/harassing/stalking him to try and keep him away from her.

* LargeHam
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He often speaks in ridiculously complicated sentences and vocabulary, and sometimes even resorts to French and Latin just to express himself.

** Parodied when he reels off a long-winded, sorrowful cock-and-bull story in an attempt to hit on Joanna, who laughs at him for it (but still sleeps with him anyway).
** Subverted with his later undying love and failed attempts for Caroline, which drops him down to a CasanovaWannabe.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: [[spoiler:Valerie]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: On occassion.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Implied, especially as he apparently went to a boarding school at a young age and the memory reduces him to snivelling to himself in the cloakroom.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mac.
* HospitalHottie
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: If you look underneath his arrogant alpha male bravado, it's clear he's actually quite insecure and pathetic.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eventually.
* MenDontCry: Subverted and lampshaded by Sue White when she catches Guy crying like a sissy in the cloakroom.
* TheNicknamer
* ReallyGetsAround
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Sue White.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Guy and Martin, since they are half-brothers.]]
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist
* VitriolicBestBuds : With Mac.
Dr. "Mac" Macartney
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Do NOT piss him off, as Guy found out the hard way.
* ChickMagnet: He is universally adored, admired, and lusted after by almost everybody at the hospital with little-to-no effort on his behalf. He spends the series being chased down by Caroline, Emmy, Holly and of course, Sue White.
* DeadpanSnarker
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Guy.
* HospitalHottie
* MenDontCry: Mac successfully restrains himself from turning on the waterworks, even in the full knowledge that [[spoiler:he's dying of an incurable disease and that he'll never marry, have children and live a full life]], as a sobbing Martin Dear blubbers out to him.
* NervesOfSteel: Mac is usually very composed in dangerous situations, the best example being when he tries calming down a hysterical Guy in the Season One finale.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Mac seduces the dinnerladies with genuine charm and compliments, and effortlessly strikes good friendships and rapport with the janitors.
* NoNameGiven: Dr. 'Mac' Macartney. Lampshaded and [[TheUnreveal unrevealed]] variously throughout the series, especially when he is looking at his medical test results:
--->'''Dr. Macartney''': Sometimes I forget I have a first name.
* OnlySaneMan
* VitriolicBestBuds : With Guy.
Dr. Alan Statham
* AxCrazy: He psychotically beat a dwarf to death with a stuffed heron.
* BadLiar: Most of the time he can't even get to the actual lying stage, and ends up blurting out the truth instead.
* KavorkaMan: He is known to have had several sexually-charged conquests throughout his lifetime, despite being completely and utterly devoid of personality, looks, charm and even the most basic social skills.
--->'''Dr. Alan Statham''': Surreptitiously however, I was bringing her to climax with a breadstick...
* LargeHam
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He often speaks in ridiculously complicated sentences and vocabulary, and sometimes even resorts to French and Latin just to express himself.
* TheUnintelligible: One episode has Alan deciding he wants to be part of a council, so asks Sue White for advice. She promptly tells him to get a voice coach because he "sounds like a hysterical child that's swallowed a conker!"
* OutlawCouple: With Joanna in the special. Most of the crimes they commit, though, are really due to their own stupidity.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist
Dr. Martin Dear
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Sue discovers this about Martin in one episode, complete with oil painting.
* BumblingSidekick
* {{Buttmonkey}}
* CasanovaWannabe: Martin is the polar opposite of Guy in every way, a relatively unpopular, socially awkward and rather dumb individual who spends the series in totally unrequited love with Caroline. Rachel's pet nickname for him is "Martin Dear, he's so queer!"
* EmbarrassingNickname: Common nickname for Martin is "Fartin." He also goes into a very lengthy anecdote to Caroline about how he came to be known as "Titbrain" at high school.
* ExtremeDoormat: Helets Guy boss him around, belittle him and casually insult his girlfriend with feeble attempts to prevent it.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: He is hinted at having this. It's not surprising with a mother like [[spoiler: Joanna]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Boyce.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: In his racist comments to Lyndon.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Guy and Martin, since they are half-brothers.]]
Dr. Angela Hunter
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Her bitchiness gets turned up to eleven after she becomes the face of a TV documentary set at the hospital.
* HospitalHottie
* ICantDance: Angela's boyfriend comments, "She really is the perfect girlfriend...although...she does dance a bit like a wolf." Queue the camera panning to Angela doing just that.
* PutOnABus: Dr. Angela Hunter gets what is probably the most generous bus-sendoff ever. That is, until she is later [[spoiler:killed off-screen in an unexplained incident with a moose, constituting a BusCrash.]]
* ParodySue
Boyce
* BiTheWay: There are a few hints that he is.
* {{Dude Looks Like A Lady}}: He is referred to as a "porcelain ladyboy".
* GayBravado: He does far too much of this in the company of Dr. Alan Statham, despite his sexual conquests with Kim.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Martin.
* HospitalHottie
* OnlyOneName
* ThePrankster
Sue White
* AxCrazy
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* ComedicSociopathy: Her hobbies including stalking people, molesting people, threatening to put SPELLS on people and shooting at people with a bow and arrow. She also gives birth to a lion cub, which raises a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered.
* CrazyCatLady: She inexplicably has a few scenes in Season 1 riding a camel. She often barks like a dog and once says she will only answer Alan's questions, "In the language of a crow!"
* ImAHumanitarian: Non-violent example: she eats umbilical cord sushi.
* LargeHam
* TheNicknamer
* StalkerWithACrush: She''is'' this trope. The scene in which she makes a clay statue of Dr. Mac and considers differently sized genitalia is but one shining example. She even steals some of his genetic material [[ADateWithRosiePalms while he's comatose]] to try to impregnate herself with his child.
* {{Stalker With A Test Tube}}
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Guy.
Joanna Clore
* AbusiveParents: She is clearly the worst mother in the universe, but it never stops Martin from declaring his undying love for her.
* BadBoss: She physically and verbally abuses not just her regular HR underlings, but also various doctors and surgeons around the building.
* DeadpanSnarker
* ReallyGetsAround
* OutlawCouple: With Alan in the special.
Harriet Schulenburg
* BadLiar: She goes into involuntary spasms of blinking and facial twitching whenever she lies.
* TheDitz: She manages to forget either her kids or an article of clothing in about every episode. She once arrived at work and a cat jumped out of her bag.
* [[TeamMom Team Mum]]: Sort of. She does help Caroline get a pen top out of her nose.
Kim Alabaster
* DeadpanSnarker
Naughty Rachel
* OnlyOneName
* ReallyGetsAround
Karen Ball
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She spends the first series as a bullied, self-loathing, friendless ButtMonkey. By the time the Special rolls around, she is a flashy, arrogant, domineering bitch who eclipses Rachel in social status and positively terrifies the rest. Granted, the last appeareance of her before the special, she got knocked out of a window and nobody even noticed.
* {{Buttmonkey}}
* TheChewToy
* ExtremeDoormat:The HR staff walk all over her (Joanna forgets her name half the time) and she generally seems to be the only one who actually does any work.
Lyndon
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lyndon finally snaps after Joanna buys him in the Slave Auction and gives her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* BlackAndNerdy: He's the IT guy, though he doesn't really seem like a stereotypical nerd.
* ChickMagnet: a handsome, sweet-natured IT consultant who is regularly called out to perform mundane, bullshit tasks by regular nurses and clerks who find themselves besotted with him.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim
* HospitalHottie
* OnlySaneMan
* TokenMinority
Holly
* BlondesAreEvil
* ManipulativeBitch
* RomanticFalseLead: She happens to appear just as Mac and Caroline are about to lock lips. And when that isn't enough to put the brakes on, she pulls a small child out of her sleeve. Caroline often fantasizes about shooting her.
Jake Leaf
* DecoyLoveInterest: He gets introduced in series 2 and goes on a few dates with Caroline, which prompts both Guy and Mac to realise they're in love with her.
* TheShrink
