Another CV / character profile from the  Hiding Behind The Couch series . Profiles posted so far: Kris Johansson Charlie Davenport Sean Tierney Jess Lambert Dan Jeffries Eleanor Davenport Krissi Johansson Shaunna Hennessy Andy Jeffries Adele Reeves Ade Simmons Hiding Behind The Couch  is an ongoing series about a group of friends—‘The Circle’ (the original main characters in the series), which has expanded and changed over time to include the ‘extended circle’ (additional main characters, below the circle on the right). George is up today.

Images used in these character spotlights (this one included) which aren’t from book covers / Daz3D are from Pixabay . Ade’s first appearance isn’t until Season Three ( The Harder They Fall ) and only then from other characters’ perspectives.

Today, it’s time to meet Andy Jeffries, the middle brother, adventure sports nut, the wayward one (or he was…). I can’t find any images (free, stock or otherwise) even vaguely similar to how Andy looks in my head, so the image above is my Daz 3D representation. It’s close enough for rock ’n’ roll. Note: for readers who haven’t read as far as In The Stars / Red Hot Christmas , the spoilers start in Andy’s CV, and there are MAJOR spoilers in the later excerpts. You can fin...
