1 Thomas
1/28/10
Season-only
The gang are having a great time at one of Thomas's club nights until an accident leaves him feeling responsible. Shocked into questioning his role within society and feeling alienated from his peers, he turns to God and the African community and, in doing so, isolates everyone around him.

Season-only
Emily and Naomi are back at Roundview and seem as loved-up as ever. When the police turn up, they are both called in to be interviewed. Their names were listed by the family as close friends of Sophia's, even though Emily knows they'd never met her.
3 Cook
2/18/10
Season-only
After previously 'losing it' at the party, Cook is up on a charge of GBH but insists on pleading "not guilty" much to the frustration of his world-weary lawyer Duncan. He's granted bail, but given an electronic tagging order and curfew that applies to him residing with his mother in her mansion.
4 Katie
2/18/10
Season-only
Katie has barely seen Emily since she walked out on the family to live with Naomi. Katie's mother Jenna is now the sole breadwinner with her new wedding planning business.

In desperation she turns to Emily for help, but things only get worse.

Season-only
JJ has a part-time job with Thomas in a confectionery wholesalers where he has fallen in love with beautiful fellow cashier Lara. He sets about planning to get a date with her, but catching her eye is not as easy as he thought. What's worse is that some of his friends don't think he's up to it, and to his horror, his mum and his doctor agree with them.
7 Effy

Season-only
Effy has been receiving treatment at a psychiatric hospital, but with the help of Anthea and her counsellor John, she feels strong enough to return home. She is worried, but assured that so long as she is disciplined she will be ok. Her life is now dictated by routine and self-control.

First four seasons are incredible (4 is my personal favourite. 5 and 6 seriously arent worth watching, they dont even bother to bring back characters from 5 and 6 in season 7. Be warned, show gets INCREDIBLY emotional intense, over the top and unrealistic at times, especially towards the end of seasons, but I would say that's part of the appeal. Overall incredible, powerful, brilliantly acted show with endearing and compelling characters and powerful writing which balances drama and comedy very well. Also incredible sound track. Must watch for pretty much all teenagers.
