Popita (Poppy) Fresh

Like Mary Cherry, Poppy was new to Kennedy for the sophomore year, and like Mary Cherry the pretty Latina also became a Glamazon. Unlike Mary Cherry, she got drunk at the phat bash, was sick in Brooke's washer and Sugar had to take her home, which, according to her licence, is at: 2821 Mariposa Circle West, Los Angeles, CA90046. She was involved in the Bio cheating scandal and felt guilty when Nicole took the fall for them. However, when Nicole was dismissive of her chances she decided to run openly for Homecoming Queen, though in the end she voted for Brooke. A nice girl, and, I assume, a Catholic, she ran the Knees Together abstinence club. She supported Brooke's wish to have Carmen join the Glamazons. She took her driving test with the other cheerleaders and seemed quite agressive at the wheel. She, like Nicole and Mary Cherry, fancied Stone Cold, whom, she averred, prefers a girl who can roll her r's. Her dark secret is that, whilst claiming to like to J-Lo in public, in private she really prefers Hanson, and is secretly their international fanclub president who visited Cuba to spread the word. She also, along with Mary Cherry and Nicole, made a play for Calvin Krupps which was ignored. Although she remained in the Glamazons for the junior year (like several others) she is never seen again.

 

Shanell Shabu aka Lady T

Lady T is one of the few people of colour to be found at Kennedy High. She sings well so she auditioned for South Pacific and won the leading role of Nellie Forbush. She is religious and forthright in her opinions. She pressed Poppy Fresh to actively run for Homecoming Queen despite Nicole's objections and became her campaign manager. She agreed with Lily, whom she tried to get to back Poppy, that Carmen would make a good queen also, but neither won anyway so it's a moot point.

 

Freddy Gong

He can't sing, as we witnessed at the South Pacific auditions. He was strangely gleeful when relaying the news that the "skank ho cheerleaders bagged [Carmen's] ass," but then called Brooke "Satan" for doing just that. As the president of the chess club, he floored Brooke with one simple question. "What's my name?" He was hurt by Brooke's refusal to acknowledge his existance. They have shared classes since the third grade but she didn't know him. He was a jury member in Emory's trial and was eager to see the popular crown fry. He was then targeted by Nicole, who thinks he is gay, but he helped her when she was sent to sensitivity camp and she agreed to lay off him.

 

April and May Tuna

Non-identical twin redheads. Both members of the chess club, April is the vice-president. May is curly-haired, shy, and eats dirt, ballot papers and cat food. April is sex obsessed, the first thing she asked Sam was, what does Brooke look like in the nude? They became fans of Lolipop and lusted after Leo Ferrara. April developed a crush on Carmen, got run down by her asked Harrison to the Sadie Hawkins but ended up with Stone Cold. May died at the McWedding of a heart condition brought about by eating bacteria infected dirt. April became student body president in her junior year. She was thought to have died in a car crash but she hadn't. She began dating Emory but Nicole manipulated them both so she could take her place as president. April ended up doing time in juvie for appearing in an Emory directed porno tape.

 

Emory Dick

He was first seen selling 'butt bolos' then excuse letters. He also promoted his best friend, Harrison, as the next singing sensation. He tried to sue the school for harassment. None too popular with the girls, he took Lily to the Sadie Hawkins and dated April Tuna. He has 14-year-old identical twin sisters, Emma and Emily, who attend Garrett JH and are a real handful.

 

The Stone Cold Fox

Stone Cold, is a hunky footballer and "lean, mean, loving machine" that has many female admirers, including April Tuna. He danced with her, and not the competing cheerleaders, at the Sadie Hawkins because, unlike them, she could see his soul.

 

Adam Rothschild-Ryan aka Billy-Bob Smelt

Fashionably dressed in black and oozing right-on sensibilities, Adam emerged from the shadows of unpopularity to destroy the cheerleaders from within by becoming a Manazon. Originally from Tupelo and hopelessly in love with cheerleader Wanda Rickets, who rejected him and thus fired his hatred, he is a military brat whose mom does washing and who lives at Echo Park in a double wide trailer. Needless to say he did not succeed, but surprisingly he was forgiven. He remained as a Manazon in the junior year lineup.

 

Exquisite Woo

She joined the school as a foreign exchange student from China late in the sophomore year. She hooked up with Sugar, quickly mastered English, and became a Glamazon in the junior year.

 

Marley Jacob

Cheerleading co-captain (with Brooke) in the freshman year who took Nicole under her wing and made her the bitch she is today. She died of malnutrition in December 1998.

 

Mandy Shepherd, Ariel Murphy, Robin Robin

The leaders of the popular set at Jasmine Hills Elementary who tormented the young Nicole, whose example she emulated in regard to Carmen.

 

George Austin

Hunky black transfer student from Barbara Bush High, who arrived a month into junior year as part of a deal to boost the football team in return for a better chance at a scholarship. He was initially resented by Josh and suspected by Sam but he was soon dating Sam and taking tips from Josh. He was placed with Brooke in the Chem-pairing experiment by a scheming Nicole, but he wasn't interested in her and returned to Sam. He supported Sam when she was nominated for Junior Homecoming Queen but then became unhappy when she played up to the glamorous stereotype (ironically to please him) so she withdrew. He helped her burgle the Ocean Park free clinic to get Harrison's test results. He turned out to be not a virgin as he had drunken sex with an older woman. He took Sam to a family dinner but when Sam realised he hasn't told his Nana that they are dating she called it off. He was going to fix things up when he caught her kissing Harrison, then it was his turn to give her the cold-shoulder. He invited Nicole to the prom but changed his mind and thus triggered her climactic rage.

 

Randy and Andy

Conjoined (siamese) twins who were placed with Carmen in the Chem-pairing experiment. They (via Harrison) refused Mary Cherry's offer to separate them.

 

Gus Latrine

Is the wheelchair-bound vice-president to April Tuna who conspired with Nicole so she could take become president of the student body.

 

Big Bertha Muffin

The infamously fearsome seven year senior whose car Mary Cherry bumps. She tried, and failed, to place the blame on Nicole; faced a thumping from Bertha, but surprisingly, Nicole saved her.
