Sara acts as the show's narrator, staying out of the action while keeping a series of video blogs about her friends, studies English. Sara lives with Roxi Jardine and Bailey Callaghan. Roxi, a drama student, is described as naïve and childish, sometimes selfish, ambitious but sweet, and someone who often takes her friends for granted.Bailey is Roxi's best friend. She “will stop at nothing to get what she wants". She doesn't care at all about boys’ feelings. Fun, spontaneous, flirty, but can be extremely jealous. Not surprising really that she is a psychology student.
Bailey's best male friend is the suave, charming, manipulative Percy Darlington who cares about no-one but himself. Percy lives with Roxi's moody yet handsome boyfriend Alex and Gethin.
Then there is Roxi's twin brother Mickey so is who laid back that he is horizontal! The 'Trisha' of the group, caring and wise and a bit of a stoner. Mickey lives with his girlfriend Linda and her best friend Isobel. Linda is always up for a good time and is always there when you need cheering up. Her passion for music is just as great as Mickey's. Then there is Isobel. She's hard working, can be a little spoilt at times and is easily manipulated. She also has a passion for film.
The first series is set in Spring and Summer 2010, at the end of the characters' first year of university.
