Dale Jackson (Waterloo Road)
- Former struggle: He was once a drug addict, and turned to cycling to get clean and rebuild his life. - Driven & single-minded: Obsessed with becoming a professional cyclist, he prioritizes training over school, rules, or friendships — often coming across as arrogant, distant, or rebellious. - Vulnerable beneath: His drive hides deep insecurity and a secret eating disorder (anorexia nervosa), as he starves himself to reach a “perfect” racing weight. 1. Arrival & conflict: Joins the school house, clashes with Lenny Brown & Darren Hughes; Scott Fairchild bullies him and steals his bike. 2. Friendship & danger: Lenny becomes his training partner, but notices Dale is wasting away. Maggie finds laxatives/scales and discovers his anorexia. 3. Collapse & loss: Dale aces his trial but collapses; Maggie reveals his condition, costing him his pro spot. He blames her, acts out (locks Marco in a cupboard, joyrides). 4. Low point: Sleeps with Lisa Brown (Lenny’s twin), but she reveals he's weak
