History YMMV / TheStoryOfTracyBeaker

** Same applies for Amber from Series 2 (a rebellious teenager with a nasty attitude) and Rebecca (Justine's new rival who is a BitchInSheepsClothing) from Series 5, though Amber did briefly return in a Children In Need special and has become somewhat friendlier after working as a roadie with her adoptive family.
** Alice, a New Age culture-loving girl who appears in Series 5, is sometimes viewed like this, due to her overly-annoying perky nature and attempts to befriend Roxy, despite not understanding that Roxy wants nothing to do with her.

* MemeticMutation: Rio's question of "Right, who's got my Maroon 5 CD?"

** Michael from Series 3, for being a nasty little prick to everyone, bullying the younger kids, snitching on the older ones, sucking up to the careworkers and for almost always ending up a KarmaHoudini. Even though it was possibly justified due to him missing his older brother who's on the run from Social Services, it's probably why he never appeared after that season.

* SeasonalRot: Series 5 is generally regarded by fans as being the weakest of all the series. Despite the return of characters such as Mike, Justine and Shelley, some good episodes and a generally well-received finale, it is more or less regarded as not being as good or funny as the first few seasons due to the plots becoming more gimmicky (such as an episode about a farm coming to the Dumping Ground or an episode where the kids just tell stories via animation), more OutOfCharacter moments (especially one episode in which all the kids try to befriend Wolfie after learning he is rich) and Tracy become extremely OutOfFocus, with Justine essentially becoming the main character.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Duke. Many consider him to be one of the funniest characters on the show, not to mention one of the kindest.
** Lol and Bouncer are both pretty popular too, to the point where their actors had a brief stint as presenters on the CBBC channel.
** Rio Wellard, [[MemeticMutation who's still looking for his Maroon 5 CD]].
** Ben Batambuze. Many liked to ship him with Tracy and were sorely disappointed when he disappeared after season 2.
* FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans choose not to acknowledge the existence of seasons four and five, namely due to Tracy being DemotedToExtra, as well as the plots not being as strong as the previous seasons, with some viewing The Movie of Me as the true finale.

* MemeticMutation: Right, who's got my Maroon 5 CD?
* RetroactiveRecognition: Turns out Ben is both [[Franchise/HarryPotter Lee Jordan]] and [[Series/{{Community}} Magnitude]]. Who knew?

** Others go as far to discount anything after the first season, since it was the only season that was loosely based on the original book and fans were disappointed that ''The Dare Game'', the book's first sequel wasn't adapted.
