Owen Foxton

Owen Foxton is a recurring supporting character in Genie in the House. He is the manager of Fruit Crush juice bar, and is Emma and Sophie's boss from Series 2 onwards. He is portrayed by Theo Fraser Steele.

Biography
Very little is known about Owen's life outside of his position at Fruit Crush. It could be thought that he is a long-time fan of the 'Star Clash' movie series due to his excitement at the thought of star Morrison Lord coming to the juice bar. He also has a signed photo of the character ‘Sam Holo’ on the noticeboard in his office.

The only other fact known about Owen's life is that he has worked at Fruit Crush longer than Emma and Sophie.

Appearance
Owen is a tall man with fair skin and dark eyes. His dark hair is always neat and perfectly arranged.

He is most commonly seen wearing his Fruit Crush outfit, entailing a lime green tie, and a vertically striped orange and white shirt. He also wears one of two Fruit Crush badges, which are a dark orange and sport the company logo. His 'manager' badge is more frequently seen than the misprinted badge reading 'Owen Foxton - Minger'. This outfit remains the same when he works at Melissa's Juice Bar, though he does also wear a large, orange costume resembling Sophie's imaginary friend, Fuzzy, when he needs to boost juice sales.

Personality
Owen's efficiency and arrogance are prominent features of his managerial work style. One of his most used catchphrases is 'time is money', which he heavily promotes whenever Emma and Sophie are working. This extends as far as penalising Sophie for being one and a half minutes late to work.

His arrogance frequently gets in the way of his work, however. Despite the higher authority of his position at Juice Crush, he is willing to leave to work for Melissa Fox, just to be able to name the drinks himself. He even leaves a management training course early, claiming that they couldn't teach him anything he didn't already knew.

Despite this, Owen is frequently portrayed as a coward. When it comes to facing up to his actions and taking responsibility, he shies away, such as facing angry customers, standing up to tyrannical manager Adil and getting bossed around by Melissa. His cowardice and inability to take responsibility come to prominence when he returns from Melissa's Juice Bar, claiming that his idea the whole time had been to work as a double agent.

Though he does push others to work hard themselves, he doesn't take responsibility either, preferring to spend his time playing video games in his office, or come up with a new drink 'Zip Club' can attach their name to.
