* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: In the live-action version, Ellie - who'swhose characterisation largely revolves around her weight and other looks issues - is played by the pretty Olivia Hallinan.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Eggs to Ellie, Natasha to Nadine.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: As it turns out, {{spoiler|Ellis}}.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Missing Mom]]: Ellie's mother is dead.
* [[No Sympathy]]: Nadine and Magda can be guilty of this toward Ellie.
* [[Teacher -Student Romance]]: In ''Girls Out Late'', {{spoiler|Magda attempts to start one of these with Mr Windsor. He is not happy with this}}. Also, Ellie's father teaches adults in an art college, and both of his wives were originally his students.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Nadine:
** In ''Girls Under Pressure'' she attempts to go to a photography session by herself that will literally be just her and the photographer (he turned out to be legitimate, but still).
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
** Finally, in ''Girls in Tears'', she {{spoiler|goes to meet her internet boyfriend, who, predictably, is not who he says he is}}, and has to be saved by Ellie and Magda once again.
* [[Weight Woe]]: Ellie. She develops an eating disorder in the second book, and still has issues in the rest of the series.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Ellie and Dan in the first series of the live action version, where he has a larger role. {{spoiler|They do, but he's disappeared by the second series and is never mentioned again}}.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Ellie's friendship with Nadine and Magda can come across this way. It's believable that the friendship survives, but Ellie does need a lot of patience.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]: The main characters believe this, with Magda and Nadine often making derisive comments about 'schoolboys', despite the characters only being 13/14 themselves. The series repeatedly demonstrates that Magda and Nadine are ''not'' wise in the slightest.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: In ''Girls in Tears'' when {{spoiler|Ellie catches Magda and Russell kissing}}.
