{{quote|
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Was a minor character in Series 2; now a part of the main cast.
Line 432:
=== Thomas Tomone ===
{{quote|
* [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: Is Thomas from the Republic of the Congo or the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Pandora's description of it being between Gabon and Cameroon suggests the former (the D.R.C. doesn't border either of those countries), dialogue suggests the latter. Do the writers not realize they are different countries?

Line 530:
=== Naomi Campbell ===
{{quote|

=== Anthea Stonem ===
{{quote|
* [[Actor Allusion]]: She cheats on Jim with his line manager, played by David Baddiel, Banks' real life partner.
Line 560:
=== Jim Stonem ===
{{quote|
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Partway through Season 3 (when he finds out about Anthea's cheating).
=== Angela Moon ===
{{quote|
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Is easily dispatched by the MDMA brownies and Pandora's friends are able to have the party they wanted.
Line 575:
=== Aunt Elizabeth ===
{{quote|
* [[Unsuspectingly Soused]]: Doesn't realize tea plants are marijuana. (Or maybe she does, given the way she's happily smoking them at the end...)
=== Celia Jones ===
{{quote|
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: When she accidentally calls Lara a "slut" in JJ's Season 4 episode.
=== Edward Jones ===
{{quote|
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: He spends most of the time hiding behind a newspaper.
=== Ruth Cook ===
{{quote|
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: Hasn't seen her son since she kicked him out for selling her wedding rings for dope - until he's under house arrest in Season 4.

=== James Fitch ===
{{quote|
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: From Katie and Emily's perspectives.
Line 633:
=== Gina Campbell ===
{{quote|
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: Also could be lumped in with [[Missing Mom]]. Gina apparently left Naomi on her own for a year to do ... well, something. (She'd stated that she wanted to "fuck on every beach in India" before she ended up pregnant; that's the most likely explanation.) Strange because for the most part of Season 3, she was a [[Good Parents|good parent]].
Line 641:
=== Johnny White ===
{{quote|
* [[Expy]]: Plenty of people saw his character as a clone of Mad Twatter.
Line 647:
=== Lara Lloyd ===
{{quote|
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: A mild case, but she does basically exist just to be {{spoiler|JJ's girlfriend}}.

{{quote|
* [[Berserk Button]]: Unknowingly presses Katie's in her Season 4 episode. {{spoiler|Gets dumped for it.}}
Line 685:
=== Andrea Babajide ===
{{quote|
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The show plays with this trope. The pressure Thomas is feeling from his parents and church to "stick with his culture" makes him see Andrea as the Betty to Pandora's Veronica (yes, we ''are'' talking about ''Panda'' here). By the end of the episode he realizes it's more reversed.
Line 692:
=== Kieran Macfoeinaiugh ===
{{quote|
* [[The Alleged Car]]:
{{quote|
'''Naomi:''' Yeah, I really would believe that. }}

Line 722:
== The Kids ==
=== Francesca "Franky" Fitzgerald ===
{{quote|
* [[Aborted Arc]]: The reasons behind her [[Freak-Out]] in the Season 5 finale when {{spoiler|Matty tries to have sex with her}}. As of the Season 6 premiere, {{spoiler|Matty and Franky are an [[Official Couple]] and Franky tells her friends she's "been losing her virginity lots of times."}}

Line 934:
=== Nicholas "Nick" Levan ===
{{quote|
* [[Adorkable]]: Post-[[Character Development]].
Line 941:
* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguously Gay|Ambiguously Bisexual]]}}: How a lot of fans are interpreting the {{spoiler|picture of him kissing new gay character Alex}} from the latter's upcoming episode.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]
{{quote|
Grace: "What’s he talking about?"
Rich: "Nick’s suggesting that were a bunch of cripples and that he and Mini, are similar to a black violent LA street gang... obviously" }}
* [[Book Dumb]]
Line 962:
=== Matthew "Matty" {{spoiler|Levan}} ===
{{quote|
* [[Ambiguously Gay|Ambiguously Bisexual]]: Mainly due to [[Word of God]] indicating the character the character was originally supposed to be bisexual, that and the character profile that lists ''[[Shortbus]]'' and ''[[My Own Private Idaho]]'' as his favourite movies.

* [[Good Parents]]: At least initially, they appear to be a rare case of caring parents on the show.
* [[Happily Married]]
Line 1,005:
=== Kevin Hardbeck ===
{{quote|
* [[First-Name Basis]]: Rich always refers to his dad by his first name (barring the end of the episode when Rich calls him "dad" as a [[Pet the Dog]] moment).
* [[Nice Guy]]
=== Shelley McGuinness ===
{{quote|
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|Amazingly Embarrassing Parent]]
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Her views on men boils down to this.
Line 1,027:
=== Leon Levan ===
{{quote|
* [[Break the Motivational Speaker]]
Line 1,041:
=== Catherine Creevey ===
{{quote|
* [[All Take and No Give]]: Her relationship with Alo is pretty much defined by the fact that neither side wishes to compromise, making them both "takers."
Line 1,052:
=== David Blood ===
{{quote|
* [[Being Personal Isn't Professional]]:Why he insists on keeping his relationship with {{spoiler|his daughter Grace}} a secret so it doesn't compromise his position.
Line 1,080:
=== Gregory ===
{{quote|
* [[Disappeared Dad]]
=== Eric ===
{{quote|
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Clare Grogan's ex-partner is called Gregory.
