Poisonous Friend is no longer a trope


* In ''The Chalet School and the Lintons'', Thekla von Stift becomes a PoisonousFriend to Gillian Linton's AnnoyingYoungerSibling Joyce. She doesn't take kindly to Joyce befriending Joey and drags Joyce out of bed after curfew, warning her to stay away from Joey (and hoping to get Joyce into trouble to get at Joey). Joyce is furious and tells her to shove it, and when Thekla later lies in an attempt to get herself out of trouble, Joyce breaks away from her for good. She also [[TookALevelInKindness takes a level in kindness]], although she's still overly dependent on Gillian even as an adult.

Added DiffLines:

* Annis Lovell's dad, who was previously [=MIA=], returning in ''The Chalet School and the Island'' and tearing strips off her evil aunt, Mrs Bain, for her cruel treatment of Annis when she was supposed to be looking after her (and as it turns out, she was embezzling Annis' money as well). Not to mention that Joey was in the room at the time and heard everything, and she gets to give Mrs Bain TheReasonYouSuckSpeech as well.

* Joey, Simone, Frieda and Marie all going on a trip to the Tiernsee with a group of older girls in ''Coming of Age'' - including Sybil Russell, who was born there - and meeting old friends and seeing familiar sights.

* Con, the UnFavorite of the Maynard triplets, gets one in ''Triplets'' when she's called to play the Fairy Queen in St Mildred's pantomime, 'Beauty and the Beast', at short notice when the original actress has to fly home to England after her parents are injured in a car crash. And despite some initial nerves and the girl playing the Prince complaining about her acting skills, she pulls it off.

to:

* Jane Carew getting to show off her acting skills in ''The Little Germaine'', the Fifth Form's play, in ''Jane and the Chalet School''. Tina Harms, the original actress who was playing the title character, has to drop out due to illness. As Jane is small and has blonde hair, and is the daughter of actors, the Fifth Formers ask her to be the replacement. Not only is she a far better actress than Tina, but she also draws on her knowledge of stage directions and scriptwriting to help the writers improve the play and cut down its running time. Although Joey thinks the play is a bit corny, she sees a brilliant future for Jane in theatre.
