[edit] Main characters
The following are characters who lead the plot.
[edit] Tony Stonem
- Played by: Nicholas Hoult
A possible sociopath, Tony's manipulative ways go unnoticed by many for some time. Michelle loves him, Abigail loves him, Jal sees through him and Sid and Maxxie grow to see what he's really like.
[edit] Sid Jenkins
- Played by: Mike Bailey
Sid is the typical geek of the show who seems desperate to lose his virginity. He is in love with Michelle, while at the same time he is completely oblivious to the affection Cassie has for him.
[edit] Michelle Richardson
- Played by: April Pearson
Tony's girlfriend who thinks a lot of herself, and possibly even more of Tony.
[edit] Cassie
- Played by: Hannah Murray
Cassie is everybody and nobody's friend, recently despite completing her rehab sessions and starting to overcome her eating disorders. She harbours a deep affection for Sid, who unaware of her interest in him, repeatedly pushes her towards her breaking point.
[edit] Chris Miles
- Played by: Joe Dempsie
Chris is the teenage party animal who'll snort, smoke, screw or rob anything. He is always trying to chat up Angie, who seems to be very attracted to him.
[edit] Jal Fazer
- Played by: Larissa Wilson
Mixed race girl who plays clarinet and spends her time practicing for the Musician of the Year Award. She lives with her dad, who seems to be a well respected figure in the area, and her two brothers, Lynton and Ace who, despite being constantly irritating towards her, are also particularly protective too.
[edit] Maxxie
- Played by: Mitch Hewer
Maxxie is the openly gay teenage character in the series, with some slight giveaways such as his penchant for tap-dancing.
[edit] Anwar Kharral
- Played by: Dev Patel
A Muslim boy who nevertheless drinks and takes drugs. Maxxie and others criticise him as a hypocrite because he attributes his dislike of gay people to the Koran, which he ironically disobeys frequently.
[edit] Effy Stonem
- Played by: Kaya Scodelario
Tony's sister typically takes the same attitude as her brother whom she is reasonably close to.
[edit] Abigail Stock
- Played by: Georgina Moffat
Posh choir girl who is friendly with Tony. Her mum works as a doctor at the rehabilitation centre which Cassie frequently visited.
[edit] Kenneth
- Played by: Daniel Kaluuya
Posh black boy, portrayed as a "wannabe gangsta". Kenneth is the least developed character of the credited main cast, speaking only a few lines. Half of the time he speaks very inner-city, and the other half he speaks incredibly articulately. In the series finale, he displays a romantic interest in Jal.
[edit] Supporting characters
The following group of characters have played supporting roles in the plot.
[edit] Family members
[edit] Anthea Stonem
- Played by: Morwenna Banks

[edit] Dr. Victoria Stock
- Played by: Heidi Monsen
Abigail's mother and Cassie's rehab councillor
[edit] Josh Stock
- Played by: Ben Lloyd-Hughes
Josh is Abigail's brother, featured in the episode "Michelle". After dumping Tony, Michelle starts a relationship with Josh. He candidly reveals he believes his mother (Cassie's psychiatrist) is "psychotic" and that she psychoanalyzes and medicates her children, and claims that he is a different person off of the drugs. Perhaps knowing this from his own encounters with Abigail, Tony sends Michelle sensitive pictures of Abi from Josh's phone, making her believe he is crazy and dumping him. Josh reappears in "Effy" with a vendetta against Tony. Possibly knowing how much Tony loves his sister, he takes her hostage (albeit her not knowing it) and overdoses her on drugs. When Tony arrives, Josh tells him that the only way that they will call an ambulance for her is if Tony has sex with Effy. After much begging and pleading, Josh finally relents, allowing Effy and Tony to walk away.
