%%* AloofDarkHairedGirl

to:

Added DiffLines:

* BeingEvilSucks: It's actually more "being dishonest sucks", but still applies. Effy is not amused at all when, in series 4, principal David Blood, concerned about how having a failing student would negatively affect Roundview College's funding, destroys Effy's report stating that she failed her A-levels, and gives her a fake one stating that she got three A's. Could be a subversion, however, as it's implied that Effy is angry not much because of Mr. Blood's act of dishonesty, but more because she thinks no one will believe she was able to legitimately get three A's after [[spoiler:spending a reasonable amount of time at a psychiatric hospital]].

* AffectionateNickname: Panda.



* IvyLeagueForEveryone: A particularly egregious example.

to:

* IvyLeagueForEveryone: A particularly egregious example.example, given that he [[spoiler: didn't even graduated high school]].



* TooHungryToBePolite: In addition to being a BigEater, let's just say that his table manner while eating his birthday cake are... not the best.



* SadistTeacher: Seems to take pleasure in expelling people.

to:

* SadistTeacher: DeanBitterman:
**
Seems to take pleasure in expelling people.people, as he gleefully pepper-sprays Cook's face after he has already being seized.
** He's also shown to be a corrupt principal, giving Effy a forged report that states that she had three A's, as having one failing student would affect the funding of Roundview College.


Added DiffLines:

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Most of her character revolves around being [[spoiler: JJ's girlfriend]].

* BettyAndVeronica: Played with: Thomas feels pressured by his parents and church to "stick with his culture", which in season 4 makes him see Andrea as the Betty, and Pandora as the Veronica to his Archie. But by the end of his centric episode he realizes it's actually more reversed.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In S3, despite him considering them all some sort of gang (he does invite everyone to his birthday party), most of the main cast seems to let him hang around just because Freddie and Effy, who interact with him the most, are at the center of the group. They don't even invite him to camp with them in Gobbler's End, and after Freddie cuts ties with him and starts dating Effy, Cook becomes essentially a loner. It's worth noting that he does have random friendships within the group, such as JJ and Naomi (and it's implied that Effy always considered him [[FriendsWithBenefits a friend]], at least), he just never fits well into the "[[TheTeam group]]" dynamic.

to:

%%* * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Cook.Cook. They have been friends since they are children and into their teenage years, but their friendship is challenged when they fall in love for the same girl.



* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: In one scene she plays Guitar Hero in front of her son and Freddie, in a short dress and making a suggestive dance, collapsing on the floor in the end, and Cook and Freddie treat the whole thing as it is completely normal. Contrary to most examples of this trope, this is PlayedForDrama, as this trope is used to reinforce how dysfunctional Ruth is as a parent.

%%* ReallyGetsAround

to:

* MrsRobinson: Has Had sex with [[spoiler: Freddie]].
%%* ReallyGetsAround* ReallyGetsAround: She has made an art piece with the names of all the men she had sex with, and it contains a lot of names, including [[spoiler: Freddie's]].

Added DiffLines:

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Freddie goes bizarrely unlamented in ''Fire'' and ''Rise'', despite the two characters he was closest to taking centre stage again. Especially galling in ''Rise'', which focuses entirely on Cook's guilt over having slain Freddie's murderer.]]
