- Erin Quinn. Played by: Saoirse-Monica Jackson. Erin has grand ambitions to become a famous writer and has serious ideas above her station. She considers herself to be very liberal and worldly; in reality she's quite easily shocked and has never ventured further than Buncrana (a popular holiday destination).
- Michelle Mallon. Played by: Jamie-Lee O'Donnell. Sweary and unashamedly offensive with a filthy sense of humour, man-hungry Michelle loves a good time. Her big mouth often lands her and the others in trouble.
- Clare Devlin. Played by: Nicola Coughlan. Clare is clever, ambitious and, when faced with an authority figure, an enthusiastic grass. Nothing is more important to her than academic achievement, and she would probably sell her granny for a better grade.
- Orla McCool. Played by: Louisa Harland. Erin's cousin Orla lives next door to Erin, with her mother Sarah. Whimsical and unpredictable Orla dances to her own tune, and thinks nothing of reading her cousin's diary or borrowing her knickers.

Erin Quinn is quite the 16 year old with dreams and ambitions that extend far beyond the walls of Derry. The wannabe writer is pretty sure she knows everything she needs to know but, with the help of her wild friends and super-annoying family, soon learns that she's got a long way to go. Real-life Derry girl Saoirse was raised in the city and in Do...
Erin's cousin Orla has some serious issues when it comes to personal space - she's often found reading Erin's diary and has even been known to steal her knickers. It's not malicious, though. Orla's just living in her own whimsical and unpredictable world, with a positive mental attitude. If that's what you'd call it... Irish actress Louisa starred ...
Wee Clare is the group's resident genius, who has big ambitions and isn't afraid to do what it takes to achieve them. Even if that means grassing on her best pals. She's the most straight-laced member of the gang and is often VERY frustrated by her friends' carefree attitude. Galway native Nicola turned to Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud in order to ...
If you're on the hunt for a party or just fancy having a carefree night on the town then you need look no further than Michelle Mallon. She wants nothing more than to have a good time and find herself a fella, and she's not backward in coming forward either. If only she thought before she opened her mouth, she might not find herself in quite as muc...
Michelle's cousin James is on the back foot from Day Dot, because he just so happens to be English. And as if that wasn't enough he's now stuck in the girls' school, because the powers that be are concerned his accent would cause too much trouble with the local boys. Llewellyn is no stranger to Channel 4, having previously starred in Hollyoaks. He ...
Woe betide any girl who crosses Sister Michael, the eternally grumpy and unimpressed headmistress of Our Lady Immaculate College. She's Erin and the gang's arch-nemesis, and has very little time for those who cross her path. Fans of The Fall will recognise McSweeney from her turn alongside Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson in the Irish drama. She a...
Erin's ma, Mary, has no time for nonsense. The matriach of the Quinn/McCool clan is a strict, straight-talking woman, who keeps her father, her husband and her daughter in check. Oh, and she's basically a surrogate mum to niece Orla, who lives next door with Mary's ditzy sister, Sarah. Belfast-born O’Neill has quite the TV CV, with roles in EastEnd...
Gerry Quinn is a man under siege. He can't keep up with the women in his life (daughter Erin, wife Mary, sister-in-law Sarah and niece Orla outnumber him) and he can't impress his father-in-law, Joe, who finds fault with everything he does. Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan returns to TV screens to star as Erin's dad, Gerry. Tiernan is best known for hi...
Granda Joe isn't a man to be trifled with, so it's little wonder he's a pillar of the community. He adores his daughters and granddaughters, but he's got very little time for his son-in-law, and he's not afraid to show it. Game of Thrones fans will recognise McElhinney as Barristan Selmy,Lord Commander of the Queensguard of Queen Daenerys Targaryen...
Orla's mum Sarah is the most laid-back member of the McCool clan. She leaves the parenting to her sister, Mary, and spends the majority of her time working hard on the thing she cares most about in the whole world - her own appearance. Clarke is a veteran of the small screen with numerous roles in productions on both sides of the Irish Sea. You may...
