Frances "Frankie" Harper (born 5 March 2012) is a girl who resides in Holby.
Biography
In April 2019, a fire broke out in Frankie's house. As her father ran up the stairs to get her, he fell, causing him to groan in pain. Frankie called for an ambulance, and call handler Iain Dean instructed her to close her bedroom door to prevent the fire from reaching her. However, she told him that her younger sister Storm was in the kitchen. Fortunately, once Frankie closed the door, Storm started sobbing, leaving Iain relieved. He told her to go and help her father, but she claimed that he had been drinking, and he would not like it if he touched her. Iain decided to start a video call with her to guide her through helping her father, but he was left disturbed by the bruises on her face and asked her if her father caused them. Iain told her to put her father into the recovery position, and he started breathing normally again. Shortly after, as the fire started to enter the room, the fire service arrived and rescued them.
Frankie and her family were taken to Holby City Hospital's emergency department, and Iain asked his sister Gem to give Frankie a toy that he had bought for her and to inform Clinical Lead Connie Beauchamp about her father's abuse. Once Frankie was treated, she was given back to her mother, but she refused to leave until she met Iain. One afternoon, Iain visited her outside the department, and she thanked him for saving her and Storm. She hugged him, and after a brief moment, he reciprocated. She subsequently returned to her social worker and left the hospital. (CAS: Series 33, Episode 33)
