F is for... Faber, Ellie


A young woman who was living rough on the streets of London, befriended by Clyde Langer when he found himself homeless and shunned by his family and friends. Her mother had remarried after her father had died, and she had not got on with her new step-dad. Clyde had touched an ancient totem pole in the Museum of Culture, which was really an alien artifact. A splinter stuck in his hand, and from that point on he seemed to be cursed. His mother and friends, including Sarah Jane Smith and Rani, all turned against him. Ellie told Clyde that many of the people sleeping rough had disappeared - taken away by the "Night Dragon". She thought that Clyde might be her lucky charm and improve her luck. Fortunately Sarah Jane's adoptive daughter Sky recalled Clyde getting the splinter, and she was unaffected by the curse. She helped the others realise what had happened to them. The totem was destroyed and the curse lifted. Clyde then went searching for Ellie, only to discover that this was not her real name. It was taken from a pop star poster. He then saw a truck belonging to "Night Dragon Haulage", and a homeless man told him that the drivers often gave lifts to people who wanted to start afresh in a new city. Clyde was left not knowing what happened to her, with no clue as to her real name or where she had gone.

Played by: Lily Loveless. Appearances: SJA 5.2 The Curse of Clyde Langer (2011).
  • Had the series not come to an end with the following story, Clyde's search for Ellie would have featured in a further storyline.
