First appearance (01/12/04)
Last appearance (29/12/05)

Tempestuous PC Amber Johannsen was feisty, gutsy and focused.

Amber's roots are working class her father was a taxi driver and her mum a beauty therapist.

In many ways, the designer labels she wore showed her determination to get a better life for herself - and make it a far distance from her working class background. Until she achieved her goal in society, Amber amused herself by toying with the likes of Steve Hunter. She was beautiful and knew it and took every opportunity to flirt and break hearts - whether it was men or women!

Amber wanted the finer things in life and everyone at the station knew that as soon as she found a man to fund it, she'd ditch her uniform quicker than she could manage to read a criminal their rights. This attitude certainly didn't endear her to her colleagues, some of whom made no secret of their dislike for her. Inspector Gold eventually tired of her questionable commitment to the job and prompted her resignation.
