Stacey Sullivan

After growing up in San Myshuno with a vicious father and alcoholic sister, Stacey Sullivan moved to Newcrest with her mother, Claire, who she doesn't have the strongest relationship with ever since her sister, Katie's tragic disappearance. Stacey is feisty, ballsy and almost always in the mood for a cat fight. However, her hard, tough-talking exterior actually covers up a sad, vulnerable young girl in the middle of a collapsed family.

## Season 1

Stacey moves to Newcrest with her mother, Claire, who is the new Principal of Newcrest High.

Reluctant to the idea of a fresh start at first, Stacey eventually befriends Roxy Redwood, Kevin Donovan and Noah Belic. Stacey learns that the pupils are taking a liking to Claire, so she angrily reaches out to Newcrest Newspaper Writer Mary Munroe with scandalous information about Katie. Mary publishes the article and Claire's reputation is damaged. Claire and Stacey continue to butt heads but eventually have a heart-to-heart over Katie's disappearance and begin to reconcile. After Lola Blackwell is caught out for lying to Kevin about baby Bella's paternity, she torments Stacey about her sister, provoking Stacey to slap and threaten her. When Noah's mother, Kim Belic turns up at school drunk, Stacey comforts him by helping out and looking after his sister, Kara and sickly grandfather, Arthur. Noah shuts her out but eventually ignites a romance with her as Stacey agrees to help him look after his family.
