Disclaimer:
I do not own Tracy Beaker or the characters in it or even a lot of what they say and do. This story is based on series 1 episode 1 of Tracy Beaker Returns, and so I have taken both script and action from it. However, what is not seen in the episode is my own. The characters of myself and my two sisters are based on the three of us. Names have been changed heavily to protect identity.
Sometimes I like to put myself in situations found in books or films, and I ask myself "what would I do?" These situations are very often when I am frustrated with a characters behaviour, and in this case, it's Carmen I am finding it difficult to like. I usually find that I grow to like the character better once I have done this, so we shall see.
(Added characters –Myself (Clara), Elsie and Chloe. Mum and dad went missing.)
Below is a list of characters ages back when the show first started (both when it was released and when it was set, which is only a few days difference). This is also how old Elsie, Chloe and I would have been. For most I could find their ages on line (the characters age not the actors age) but for Mike and Gina, it's a guess.
Character ages:
Mike Milligan – Middle aged Adult
Gina Conway – Middle aged Adult
Tracey Beaker – 20
(Me) Clara Scholar– 11
Elsie Scholar – 8
Chloe Scholar – 3
Harry Jones – 6
Carmen Howle – 10
Sapphire Fox – 14
Lily Kettle – 10
Gus Carmichael – 9
Tea Taylor – 8
Toby Coleman – 11
Frank Matthews – 14
Johnny Taylor – 11
Poppy Kettle – 3
Rosie Kettle – 4
Liam O'Donovan – 12
