Crossroads (UK) (2001)

Kate and Patrick's son, 22-year-old Mak works as an occasional barman/waiter but is a bit of a slacker and is not really interested in the hotel business. He often feels in the shadow of Jake.

Age: 22 - Position: Part time waiter and Full time slacker.

What with eating breakfast in the afternoon and a greater interest in chasing women than in the hotel, he's shaping up to be more of a waster than a waiter. But if he doesn't get going, the path will clear for Jake's ambitions.

But he may be lazy now, but he's always done pretty well at school. He doesn't share his half-brother's ruthlessness towards either the hotel or to women. And though gorgeous, he swears he'll never love again.

LATER VERSION OF BIOGRAPHY:

Position - Conference and Promotions manager

Jealous of his brother Jake, who he suspects is his mother's favourite, Mark is determined to be a success. Having been a bit of a slacker in his youth, he has finally returned from his travels to play his part in the family business. Young, innovative and enthusiastic Mark is a talented addition to the hotel, although Jake might not agree.

Mark's boyish innocence means his heart is easily broken, and as a result he is wary of letting women get close. His charm and good looks mean he is popular with the ladies, but he has none of Jake's ruthlessness - when Mark falls in love he falls hard.

Mark fell for the charms of Sarah Jane Harvey (Joanne Farrell), but she left him on their wedding day after being offered a large sum of money by Patrick.

At the end of the series he decided to go travelling around the world with Sarah (Holly Newman)
