Law & Order: UK/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Berserk Button]]: Several--child abuse, established in the episode "Unloved", Alesha Phillips, established in [http://www.tv.com/law-and-order-uk/alesha/episode/1261417/recap.html?tag=episode_header;recap Alesha], and Ronnie Brooks, established in [http://www.tv.com/law-and-order-uk/honour-bound/episode/1294062/recap.html?tag=episode_header;recap Honor Bound].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]/[[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]: He's a pretty nice guy. . .until/unless you tick him off, usually by pushing one of the abovementioned buttons.

'''Matt''': "Yeah, I know." }}

 

'''Ronnie''': "You wouldn't like him when he plays "bad cop". }}

* [[Blue Eyes]]: {{spoiler|and we get a heartbreaking close-up of them in his final moments}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Thanks to her experience, rape, as well as women [[False Rape Accusation|who lie about it]].

** As seen in the episode "Alesha", she also serves as a [[Berserk Button]] for everyone in the group--infuriated by what's happened to her, they go all out to bring her rapist to justice. And note that James can barely stand to watch the video of her rape, while Matt can't bring himself to watch it at all.

** She doesn't like sexist putdowns either, or people trying to play the race card to garner her sympathy for a cop killer--especially since said cop was her friend and [[Heroic Sacrifice|died saving her life]].

* [[Broken Bird]]: And ''how''. Raped by her doctor, loses her friend/mentor before they get a chance to explore their feelings for each other, and another friend is killed saving her life before ''they'' can explore their feelings for each other. Unlike most examples of this trope, she appears to have come out of each tragedy stronger than before.
