Quentin

Claudia has an imaginary boyfriend, Quentin, who is long suffering and a constant disappointment to her. They don’t live together but he visits regularly and they talk on the telephone if he can’t get in to see her. As he is part of her imagination his appearance changes to suit her mood. Sometimes he will be a David Beckham looking guy, whilst in another scene he will appear as a Pete Docherty type, Daniel Craig type or a Hollyoaks Babe. If she is having a bad day he will morph into an uncouth couch potato chav with all that brings with it.

He is as into the horror film genre as she and into role-playing to suit her whims and moods.

Claudia has a paranoid suspicion that he is constantly having affairs behind her back and keeps him firmly under her thumb, sometimes restraining him or keeping him prisoner in one of the rooms.


I knew as soon as there was an opportunity to shoot a male character who I was going to use. My dear friend Cameron. He is just going to be perfect for this. Considering the amount of time that Claudia spends reading (not watching TV) she's dreamt up the perfect guy. To me, Cameron is what I like to call classically beautiful. He has incredible eyes and bone structure to die for.

Well dressed characters are such a reoccurring theme within in this tv show that it was essential that Cameron wore a suit.

With Claudia's obsession with trying to get Hannibal's attention has made Quentin look similar to Hannibal in regards to his demeanour.

The word I chose for Quentin was 'The Woods' I know it might have seemed a weird choice but originally, he was going to be the Wendigo.  Instead I'll be treated him as a hunted animal. In a temper tantrum Claudia cuts his neck. (This is originally what happened to Abigail) He tried to hide from Claudia during one of her angry moods and she stalked him around the placement and ends up hurting him

Hannibal had taught her how do to stitches so she would 'save him'

All Quentin wants to do is make her happy. Claudia is convinced that he is now Hannibal's protege and that he loves Quentin more than he loves her.

You can't help but feel bad for Quentin, all he wanted to do was make her happy.
