Candice Smilie is a single mum in her early 40s who tried to better herself through adult education evening classes at Waterloo Road to improve her basic literacy skills. She is proud of her job as top dinner lady in the school canteen and is ambitious, putting aside her disapproval of Rose Kelly and then working with her to pitch for the school franchise. Since winning the pitch, Rose and Candice have become firm friends – bonded not only through work but their shared experiences of trying to raise difficult sons, alone.
A firm mother to Bolton, she doesn’t shy away from keeping him in line but is ultimately very proud of her son. Candice is mouthy and blunt which some people find intimidating, but she always means well and is a big fan of Rachel after everything she has done for her son.
Behind the scenes
