Plot and casting departure
The series focused on a group of students living at Discovery House, a dorm at the Oaks Boarding School.[1] All of the storylines focused on the love triangle involving Miles Silverstone, his girlfriend Anya Vicenze, and his brother Chris, who had an eye for Anya. Another major plotline was that of Tally's "celeb" mother, whom Tally constantly boasted about, but never came to visit. Another major plotline was that of Bethan and the county running team and qualifying for it.
Samuel Crowder who played Chad, left after series one due to creative differences with the director, stating "I didn't like the direction my character was going in. I was concerned about being typecast as a hipster".
