Roman's Empire

- Season 1

(2007)

After five weeks away (appearing in B-movie "The Squid"), Nikki Pretty dumps long-term boyfriend Leo Barker in favour of rugger-bugger Seb Fuller. Leo makes a plan to win Nikki back by exposing a perverted secret of Seb's. Which promptly backfires. Meanwhile, Leo's friend Jase attempts to escape from his wife and brand-new baby.

Jase fakes his own death to escape his wife and brand-new baby. Leo plays along to elicit sympathy from his ex. And the Japanese gardener continues to plan revenge on Roman.

Roman needs money to build his theme park, Romania. And where better to get it from than his richer, older brother Jesus. But there's a price to be paid, and it looks like Leo will be the one to pay it... Meanwhile, Jase tries to sell his baby on the internet. His wife Jenny plays along, thinking he doesn't really mean it. He does.

Leo learn that Seb is going to propose to Nikki at the premiere of her film 'The Squid'. He decides to make her jealous so she'll realise that she still cares about him. So he pretends to sleep with her younger sister Kelly. The plan, needless to say, backfires. Meanwhile Jase finds out that Jenny wants to have another baby, and deliberately sets about sabotaging his sperm count to stop this happening.

Leo decides he needs to move on, and start getting over Nikki. Then Roman has a heart attack and puts her in charge of his business - making her Leo's new boss. Meanwhile, Jase decides to become an Orthodox Jew in order to spend less time with his hated wife.

As Nikki's wedding day approaches, Leo is thrown out of the house. He teams up with a vengeful Jesus to bring down Romania - and ruin his ex's big day. Jase decides to set his wife up with his Jewish therapist, but things don't work out quite how he planned.
