* ActorSharedBackground:

** Clare is portrayed as a SoapboxSadie and supporting various causes. Her actress Nicola Coughlan is also known for her political activism.



* OlderThanTheyLook: The actresses of the titular Derry Girls, who convincingly portray 15- to 16-year old girls. Those of Erin and Orla were born in 1993/94, and those of Clare and Michelle were born in 1987, making them 25 and 31 respectively at the start of the show in 2018. Also applies to James, whose actor was born in 1992, thus being 26 when they started filming.



** Clare's portrayal as a SoapboxSadie can be a bit reminiscent of Nicola Coughlan's real-life activism.



* StarMakingRole: Creator/NicolaCoughlan won rave notices for her portrayal of Clare, which led to her being cast in ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'' where she received even more raves. Unfortunately for ''Derry Girls'', this meant she was in such demand that she had a reduced role in Series 3 because she became so busy.
