Trey Palmer
Luke Bracey
Episodes: 4799 -
Parents: Jenena and John (stepfather)
His first appearance on screen was to make an excellent suggestion for the Dan Baker Tribute and we were left thinking that the new boy might actually be a good one. His subsequent pursuit of Nicole, despite her being with Geoff left viewers starting to turn against him but it was when he turned his attentions towards Kirsty that viewers really started to turn against him. Enlisting her as an English Tutor, he made his feelings for her plain but when she rejected him he got his father involved to bully her into resuming tutoring him.
When his father overheard him bragging to his mates about having a sexual relationship with Kirsty, he was too cowardly to put things right. Kirsty's attempts to persuade him to do the right thing did no good but she was the alibi he gave the police for where he was at Roman's accident. Unfortunately Kirsty was too scared to admit the truth, causing an angry Trey to lash out and Miles to hit him in defense of Kirsty. With a dislocated shoulder and a father hell bent on revenge things spiraled out of control for Trey.
Jai found a picture of Trey from his old school and in a conversation with Miles he revealed that he was bullied at his last school for being fat and that his father was a hard man to talk to. Convinced by Miles to do the right thing, Trey remained a pariah with the town but found a kindred spirit in fellow outcast Nicole. After realising that they had a lot in common, Nicole invited him round but her father Roman kicked Trey out. Nicole decided she didn't care what Roman thought and kissed Trey but they agreed to take things slowly. He angered Xavier by repeating what his father had said about Hugo being a liar but later apologised.
They were interrupted kissing by Ruby and after she made a joke about his body a furious Trey ran out on Nicole. For several days he refused to speak to her and went out of his way to either avoid or upset her. Eventually he realised he was angry with the wrong person and explained to Nicole about his body insecurities. She told him she thought he was hot and they got together.
