Lee Grice

Lee Grice was a character from The Dumping Ground. He is a former resident of Ashdene Ridge and briefly resided in Brookside. He has an older brother named James. 
Lee has quickly established himself as the Dumping Ground's most unpopular kid - bullying the little ones, snitching on the older ones and constantly sucking up to the staff.
== Biography ==
For reasons unknown, Lee and his brother James both got put into care and were sent to different placements. It seems Lee has had experience in other foster homes and care homes, and James likely lived with him in these homes too. It can be guessed that Lee and James were abused by their parents, or they might be deceased, as Lee’s personality may reflect on not feeling cared about or never being happy. Lee arrived at Ashdene Ridge offscreen in series 1, though James stated that he'd come back for Lee (though James wasn't sure he could take care of him).
=== The Dumping Ground: Series 1 ===
Before Sarah arrived, Lee began causing chaos by spraying the garden hose over the kids and care workers until Sarah stopped him. When Sarah attempted to have Amelia moved to another care home, Lee later joined in the protest against Sarah trying to do this. Lee was later asked - along with the rest of the kids - by Sarah about any changes that he might like to be made at Ashdene Ridge (though he claimed that there wasn't anything he wanted to change) and was later made to share his room with Ryan (to both their annoyances), ended up in a food fight because of Sarah's new changes and also tried to claim that Ryan was picking on him (though Sarah didn't fall for his playing the innocent). He was also at the Dumping Ground when Annie first arrived and constantly tried to see what was inside a tin she had (which got him into trouble with Sarah) and got involved in an exercising thing with the rest of the Dumping Ground. He attempted to steal Annie's tin through this, although Amelia was able to return it and later pranked Lee with Annie and Ryan into thinking that it was full of worms.
Lee developed a crush on Tee, which led to the kids "helping" him to get her attention by writing a love song for her. However, this instead led to him embarrassing himself until Tee stated about how sweet she thought what he did was. Lee is reunited with James who had escaped from his own care home. Lee attempted to hide James in the garden shed, but the two got found out by Anne and Amelia who soon were convinced to help them. Unfortunately, Lee got upset when he heard that James was thinking twice about taking Lee with him. All the same, he knew that James had to return to his care home and gave him his pocket money to pay James back the money he'd stolen. Lee was soon after annoyed after Hattie mentioned about Owen staying over for a while and competed with Ryan (while bribing Carmen to help him) over which of them had to share their room with him. Lee won, but later got annoyed when Owen revealed that he'd brought his game console and offered to share it with Ryan.
Lee was initially in the beavers, only to get kicked out because he was mucking about. This ended up with him trying to spoil Amy's attempt to get her beaver badges so that she could go camping. He started by putting one of the gloves Hattie tried to make Gina wear in the kitchen in a cake Amy was baking (and forced Holly to not tell anyone when she saw him do it) and then was involved in Amy's failed first aid session. Thankfully, Holly soon told Sarah about the glove in the cake and Lee was put on litter duty. He also tried to tease Samia when she arrived at the Dumping Ground, only for her to (unintentionally) hit back at him. He also tried to ruin Amelia's entry in a painting competition at the Dumping Ground, which led to the two fighting. After Lee saw the painting Amelia supposedly did, he accused her of not actually doing it until Sarah old him about how nice Amelia had painted him. 
When Amelia attempted to get sponsors for a race Annie and her Grandfather wanted to take part in, Amelia convinced the other kids to sign it by offering to pay each of them whether Anne's Granddad won or lost. At the race, he saw the judge of it was refusing to let Anne's Grandfather be involved. In response, Lee threatened to scratch the judge's car if he didn't let Anne's Granddad in it (though he still made fun of Anne's Granddad). Lee attends Tracy's leaving party.
=== The Dumping Ground: Series 2 ===
==== Amelia Beaker: Children in Need ====
Lee only appeared in the Children in Need 5 part special titled "Amelia Beaker: Children in Need". This takes place after the second series, and Lee seemed to be living at Brookside during this. It's unknown why Lee never appeared in the second series, but it is possible that Lee had been staying with James temporarily as an assessment. After the special, he likely went to live with James permanently.
== Personality ==
Lee is described as a spiteful, rude boy who seems to have few redeeming qualities; he bullies and snitches on the other kids and usually only does things to please himself. Due to his hostile personality, Lee doesn't seem to have any close friends and it has supposedly led to him being bullied and eating alone at lunch in school. He constantly mocked Annie about her Grandfather, her constant attempts to run away and provoking Ryan on a number of occasions. Lee seems to have a love-hate relationship with Frank, Johnny and Tyler as most of the time they can't stand each other. But sometimes they can be seen enjoying each other's company and hanging out together.
Despite everything that Lee is known for, he does have something of a good side; he was shown to be rather close to James, felt remorseful about his intents on ruining the time capsule after Holly revealed her contribution to it being one of the few photos she had of her Mother and he blackmailed the judge of a race that Annie and her Grandfather wanted to participate in after he refused to let Annie's Granddad be involved in it, suggesting he and Anne became frenemies.
