Linda La Hughes, portrayed by Kathy Burke, lives in an apartment with Tom Farrell, played by James Dreyfus. Linda is a plus-sized, outspoken woman who doesn’t fit conventional standards of beauty, yet she perceives herself as stunning and irresistible. She is also highly interested in men and has a strong desire for romantic encounters. Tom, on the other hand, is a hopeful actor struggling to land roles despite having an agent. He doesn’t have much affection for Linda, possibly due to their living arrangement. Linda is somewhat uneasy about Tom’s homosexuality, likely because she struggles with the idea of living with a man who isn’t attracted to her.
