=== Elizabeth "Effy" Stonem ===

{{quote|Played by: Kaya Scodelario}}

* [[Big Brother Worship]]

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Mostly to her parents.

* [[The Chessmaster]]

* [[Emotionless Girl]]

* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Both the receiver and giver.

* [[Jerkass]]: he gets better though

* [[The Unfavourite]]

* [[Dramatic Irony]]: {{spoiler|Graham's decision to un-invite Chris's friends to his funeral, because they were the ones who "screwed him up." The audience, however, knows the opposite is true: his friends were the ones who cared about and looked after Chris after his parents both abandoned him. If not for his friends, he probably would have died a lot sooner.}}

* [[I Have No Son]]: Not quite, but he doesn't acknowledge Chris as his son, going to the extreme of only having baby pictures of Peter. {{spoiler|That is, until Chris dies.}}

=== Chris's mother ===

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Though it's more that he turns out to ''not be so nice'' once Tony screws him over.

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: In Effy's episode.

* [[Hot for Student]]

=== Doug ===

{{quote|Played by: Kaya Scodelario}}

* [[Beneath the Mask]]: It finally comes off in Season 4, but we get some peeks even before that - for example, with her "Unseen Skins" in Season 1, and with her speech to Katie in Pandora's Season 3 episode.

* [[Broken Bird]]: Gave off this impression from her earliest appearances, until [[Sanity Slippage]] ensued.

* [[Fallen Princess]]

* [[Genius Ditz]]

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Effy.

* [[No Social Skills]]: JJ looks positively smooth in comparison.

* [[Slumber Party Ploy]]: How she keeps her mom from knowing about all the drugs and sex she partakes in.

{{quote|Played by: Merveille Lukeba}}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: When he speaks French. Most of his French dialogue is subtitled, of course, but some stand-alone words are not.

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: A mild case. He claims to be great at math and to have scored at the top of his class in his village high school.

* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]

* [[Foreign Cuss Word]]: "Merde" (meaning "shit") is a favorite of his.

* [[Magical Negro]]: Sometimes comes across as this; Katie even lampshades it.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Played straight until they get to Pandora's aunt's house. Then it's quickly subverted.

* [[Token Minority]]

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: His Season 4 episode, to some.

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: He cheats on Pandora in Season 4.

* [[Absent-Minded Professor]]: Cook even calls him a "nutty professor."

* [[Adorkable]]: His interest in magic tricks and model planes, his trivia skills, and the repeated ''[[Star Trek]]'' references in his Season 4 ep.

* [[Asperger's Syndrome]]: Provides the page quote, even. He also stands out as one of the few portrayals in the media that is both realistic ''and'' sympathetic.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Essentially what happens after his Season 4 episode.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Has a lot of these moments, from telling Effy that Cook was sleeping with someone else to {{spoiler|outing Emily to her sister}}.
