Brandy is a guest character from Benidorm, played by Sheridan Smith. Brandy was introduced as a new love interest for Martin Weedon after he split from his wife Kate.

Storylines[]
Brandy is seen in the first episode of the third series boarding a coach with Martin Weedon and is spotted by the Garvey family. Madge Harvey jokes that Martin traded his wife Kate for a "younger model". When they arrive, Brandy is attracted to the Barman Mateo Castellanos and flirts with him several times. Martin is annoyed that Brandy is giving him "hot and cold" signs and Brandy reveals that she last had sex three years ago, leaving Martin stunned. Brandy then has sex with Mateo and steals his staff pass key to rob the guests. Brandy turns out to be in a relationship with Marcus Snelling, a man who has conned many guests. The pair, using the staff pass, rob several rooms at the Solana together. Troy catches Brandy burgling his apartment, but Marcus Snelling walks in and ties Troy to the radiator. Brandy and Marcus then leave happily with most of the belongings of many of the guests.
While it's never shown, in later episodes it is confirmed that both Brandy and Marcus were caught and arrested, however Marcus was released and came back to the Solana to scam Joyce Temple-Savage in Series 8. Brandy does not return again after Series 3.
Personality[]
Brandy is a loud, confident, straightforward woman who knows what she wants, and makes alot of fun with the culture gap between her and Martin. She speaks with a thick heavy scouse accent, like Trudy and Dorothy (Gavin's mother.) She is very bubbly and seems to get on with everyone.
