Any of you Beaker fans seen the sitcom "After You've Gone" Which starred Dani Harmer alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst?

If so, is it any good?

33. Ryan Patterson - Series 1


32. Zac Patterson - Series 1


To put it simply, these two are put so below because they're dull. Really dull. Do you know what I had in my mind before deciding to do this write up? "They both like to fix things! They fixed Justine's clock!"
Anywho, I figured they must've done something beyond that, right? A few things stuck out in my mind, like Zac's fear of vampires causing Ryan to swap rooms with Maxy. But that was it. The only thing the brothers did was contribute to smaller stories that weren't necessary to the episodes. They had little to no interaction with Tracy either, and their friendships lied with Maxy and Peter.... and they just weren't dynamic. There was nothing interesting or notable with Zac's friendship with Maxy, or Ryan's friendship with Peter, or vice versa.
There was no development for them. No backstory. And no explanation as to why they left (such was the fate of a good number of characters in Series 1 and 2, but they got better at writing out characters by Series 3 onwards lmao x). They were just kids, and while not bad, they're just not enjoyable, and they can't stand their ground against the other kids in the ranking.

So why Zac over Ryan?

The answer's simple - Ryan's hairline pisses me off.

31. Sid Rooney - Series 4


Tracy Beaker had a tendency to write off characters with no explanation (see: like, half of the Series 1 cast, some of the Series 2 cast, M*chael... although I'm glad the latter didn't get an explanation, because I can at least imagine the kids killed him in his sleep), but luckily they always explained why care workers left. Mike and Jenny got new jobs, and while we only found that out from Tracy after Jenny's left in the Series 3 premiere, it was certainly more of a resolve to her character's end on the show than Shelley's departure (although thankfully she was only gone temporarily).

After changing house previously with no explanation (and still pretending it's the same building like, why are there two Stowey House's and two Elm Tree Houses, and why did they pretend the second Elm Tree House was the same house as the second Stowey House in TBR with the time capsule?!?! WHY?), Series 4 opened with the kids actually moving house (hurray) and with a brand new careworker.... Sid. Shelley's gone. Why? Who knows. But we care, because she was interesting (I almost turned this into a Shelley writeup, but anywho, onto Sid). So the fact she didn't get a goodbye left things a sour, but then we got this random bloke just... there.

He really pales when compared to the other careworkers. Mike and Jenny were great, lovable, and we could relate to their resentment towards Elaine the Pain, Nathan was new and hip and had great dynamics with Bouncer, Lol, and Dolly (ESPECIALLY Dolly), and Shelley was menacing on the outside yet lovable on the inside.
And to be fair, the careworkers bounced off each other. Mike and Jenny had a great friendship and great interactions (and as did Duke, even if he's not a careworker) for example, whereas Sid was alone, with only Duke and Elaine as supports, and they just seemed more like work colleagues. The only level of friendship I saw between the three care home adults in Series 4 is when Sid seemed upset that Duke was leaving... and even then why should we care? They had a friendship yes, certainly apparent in the Series 4 finale, but it just didn't feel organic, and Sid didn't have any notable interactions with the kids.

What's ironic is, in Series 5, Duke's departure is he explained, while Mike just suddenly appears and Sid's nowhere to be found (also, they're in a different house again, but whatever, it's not unreasonable to think they moved house again). That just makes Sid truly forgettable, and I can never remember Series 4 episodes being aired on re-runs on CBBC, so that doesn't help.

Yeah, Sid was just boring and unforgettable.

30. Peter Ingham - Series 1


This is where the rankdown gets difficult.

If you've noticed, all there's been a pattern with all my low-rankers so far - no, it's not that they're all men (although that they are), but it's that they're all lasted one season. That's not to say all one season characters will be cut early, but with less screentime comes less development, and such is the case for Peter.

Peter is, well, Peter. He's generic. But what sets him apart from Zac and Ryan (who also suffer from being generic) is that they did something with Peter. He was fostered, and we got to saw him have some story. We saw him go bat**** crazy (throwing Tracy's picture out the window ) but I just didn't feel invested in his character. He had story, he had a character, but he still felt generic. Of course, he is a kid. But other kids similar to his age (or younger) are better than him by not being generic personality wise.

While Peter is a generic character done right, generic characters are not my thing.
