They must have given her some money, though, because what else would explain her being able to escape to New York in her centric episode? Sid's dad Mark starts out as distant, fiery and emotionally abusive. This becomes subverted later on though, after Sid's mum abandons them. Michelle's mother isn't abusive, but she's definitely negligent.

She's totally focused on her own love life and doesn't notice when Michelle and Tony have broken up. Adults Are Useless: On so many levels, though it does get subverted at times with the parents.

One of the best subversions on the show is Doug, a part of Roundview's faculty throughout all six seasons who, though frequently treated with little respect, does his best to understand and nurture the characters. Affectionate Gesture to the Head: JJ is forever having his hair ruffled; he's well aware that it's mostly patronising. And they'd listen to me for once and not fucking ruffle my hair! Not to mention Tony Stonem. The American version has Chris Collins and Cadie Campbell.

All There in the Manual: The novel is supposed to fill in the gap between series 3 and 4. S4 has used elements from the book for crucial plot points, and alluded to goings on from the E4.

Viewers know, however, that it's actually the reverse and Thomas learns this by the end of the episode. In the triangle with Franky as the Archie, it's hard to tell which one is Mini and which one is Matty.

However, with Matty at the center, it's clear that Franky is the Betty and Liv is the Veronica. Then in series 6, we have Franky as the Archie once more, with Nick as the Betty and Luke as the original Veronica, though he is eventually replaced by Matty once more. With Tea as the Archie, Betty is, well, the Betty and Tony is the Veronica. Big Damn Heroes: Maxxie and the Russian police in .
