The Story of Tracy Beaker[]
Series 1[]
Ryan and Zac always came up with different plans to prevent stuff from happening in the Dumping Ground.
Ryan seemed to be the more dominant twin, perhaps suggesting he was the older of the two. He speaks in a Cockney dialect and is interested in judo. He gets up to mischief with his twin brother Zac and Maxy. Ryan doesn't usually take no for an answer. Ryan is also very handy and is quite a business man, as he charged Justine when she asked him to fix her clock. He said it was on the house though, when she told him that Tracy had broken it.
After Series 1, Zac and Ryan left The Dumping Ground. Lol and Bouncer, another pair of siblings arrive, acting as an older replacement for them.
