[edit] Expelled

Lewis was expelled from Waterloo Road when Kim Campbell when he sexually harassed her in the "cooler" - an internal exclusion centre. The expulsion was reduced to a 15-day suspension on appeal, but his mother decided to withdraw him from school after they received hate mail from angry pupils and parents.

Lewis was involved in a relationship with drug addict Maxine Barlow shortly after receiving an ASBO. Lewis went on to have a job at a restaurant.

Lewis and a friend ruined Donte Charles and Chlo Grainger's evening in Donte's house, after Donte retracted a tip at a restaurant.

Later, Lewis started up a burger van business with his aunt Gem Seddon and cousin Jed Seddon, which proved unpopular with headmaster Jack Rimmer. They secretly sold drugs to the pupils of Waterloo Road using this business.

In the last episode of the 2nd series, Lewis spiked the drink of Chlo Grainger at her 16th birthday party. Lewis also informed the police of his cousin and aunt's drug lab, which led to Gem being arrested for drug dealing.

[edit] Third series

Lewis is now working in the school kitchen, in order to repay his debt to society. He helped find autistic pupil Karla Bentham after she'd seemingly escaped from school grounds, after slapping Steph Haydock. Lewis found her hiding behind the school shed, and was surprisingly understanding towards her, although he did mispronounce her condition as "Asparagus Syndrome".

It is uncertain how much this change will affect the character, although he did refuse Donte the use of his moped due to his lack of insurance, stating that he's now a "pillar of the community".

[edit] Father?

During an archeological dig, the reamins of a baby's corpse was found by Carla and Janeece. Once the new head, Miss Mason found out she immediately contacted the police. An investigation kicks off and Steph must interview each girl at Waterloo Road who has been to the school nurse with sexual health problems. In the end Maxine admits to Janeece that the baby was in fact hers, and she was still born. Baby Charlotte was buried by Maxine and was fathered by Lewis Seddon. Lewis blamed himself for the death of his and Maxines daughter making out that he would have been a bad father.

[edit] Exit

Actor Craig Fitzpatrick is wanted by the police for failing to attend court over assaulting his girlfriend. As such, the character did not appear in the second half of Series 3 and it has since been announced that he will not be returning for Series 4, though this is due to the producers feeling that the time had come for the character to be discontinued.
