April MacLean

Played by Sophie Hopkins

Kind, compassionate and dependable, April might not be the coolest girl in school but she would certainly be the best friend you could have. The teachers love her - but she’s a lone ranger and her classmates think she’s a try-hard. A folk music whizz and a talented violinist, April’s delighted when events at Coal Hill school bring our group together and she’s able to share her passions with her new-found friends.

So, die alone or die at a party?
April

Always looking on the bright side of things, April might seem like she’s just “nice”, but deep down she’s a real fighter, battling a difficult home life and a tragic past.

Her big heart might be her greatest strength – but also proves to be a terrible weakness.
