Former pupil Lewis used to be the bad boy of the local community. He was permanently excluded from Waterloo Road for sexually threatening behaviour towards ex Head of Pastoral Care, Kim Campbell. Lewis has been in trouble from an early age - with his half-brothers and cousins he's been a thorn in the side of the local police since he was nine - he boasts that he's the reason the government brought in ASBOs.

Finally it seems that Lewis has begun to grow up. He returns to Waterloo Road, this time working in the school's kitchen and assisting the new cook Candice. Girlfriend Maxine hopes his new responsibilities will be the making of him.
