Alicia Berry 2010, 2025
Occupation: Student at Eden University

After starting at Eden Uni, Zeke Kinski was forming a friendship with classmate Alicia Berry, but as the two chatted about music, and the embarrassing mature students in their class, Zeke was horrified to see his stepmother Susan in the common room. Susan had started an Ethics in the Media course, and was determined not to cause any embarrassment for Zeke with his new friends. But as he sit and drank a coffee with Alicia, Susan noticed that he had some foam on his nose, and tried to warn him, before eventually going over and wiping it off herself, much to Zeke's horror and Alicia's amusement.

Later in the year, Alicia and her friend Carey ran into Chris Pappas, who they knew from the gym where he worked, and his friend Andrew Robinson. Even though he and Chris were still at high school, Andrew was keen to spend some time with Alicia and Carey, and encouraged Chris to join them. They arranged to meet up at the uni courtyard the next day, and it seemed like they were going to get away with it, until Susan spotted them and asked why they were skipping school - before taking them back to Erinsborough High to explain their actions. Alicia, however, managed to see the funny side and arranged to see 'bad boy' Andrew again, and later that week, she and Carey met with Andrew and Chris at Charlie's bar. Unfortunately, the afternoon ended badly, as Chris, Andrew and the girls got a bit noisy and drew complaints from Michael Williams, leading to an argument with him and his daughter, Andrew's ex-girlfriend, Tash, and a fight between Chris and Tash's new boyfriend, Kyle.

Fifteen years later, Taye Obasi was trying to launch his own range of skincare named SATAYE and was looking for investors. Having worked as a male escort earlier in the year, he decided to try his luck, sending out a message to all his former clients with an amazing opportunity. Alicia turned up, along with two other women, Monica and Cassie, and was disappointed to realise that, rather than Taye getting back into escorting as she'd hoped, he was actually looking for money for his business. Whilst Alicia and Cassie politely declined and left, Monica later agreed to make the investment, still grateful to Taye for helping to save her marriage earlier in the year.
