Tess Harris

Tess Harris is Leo Goskirk's teaching assistant who is having an affair with Leo's step-father Paddy Kirk.

Paddy and best-friend Marlon Dingle met Tess and her friend Chloe on a night out. Paddy insulted Tess and left the bar. Paddy returned to get his coat and tried to step in when a man took Tess' leather jacket from the cloakroom. The man walked away and Paddy and Tess were thrown out of the club. Tess offered to give Paddy a lift home but they sat in Tess car and talked about Paddy's problems with Aaron Livesy. Paddy explained about Aaron's disastrous relationship with Robert Sugden which culminated in Paddy being shot and Leo being threatened. He went onto explain how he could not go to the police about it as it would land Aaron in trouble too, and even his wife Rhona Goskirk didn't know he was shot. Tess assured Paddy he was not a coward and they kissed and had sex in the back seat despite them both being married. Tess offered to take Paddy home but he declined and they both expressed regret at their liaison.
