BBC Waterloo Road Wiki

Self-confident, self-assured, self-loving and skirt-chasing Angus "Gus" Hancock comes to Waterloo Road from local rival school Havelock High, and brings his eye for pretty ladies - of all ages - with him.

Gus is first seen briefly in Series 8 Episode 1 among the pupils in the school hall as Michael and Lorraine give speeches welcoming them all. He is also briefly seen in Episode 2, when he recklessly kicks a football through the open front doors of the school, which is caught by Tariq.

In Episode 3, Gus and his friends from his old school Havelock drop a dog poo through the letterbox of the schoolhouse. Rhiannon Salt sees them running away. Later, at the school, Gus meets Madi Diamond, who immediately takes a shine to him.

Rhiannon later spots a green hoodie in Gus's bag which he was wearing during the dog poo incident, and publicly accuses him, but he attempts to distract by making a show of Tariq when he comes past dripping urine on the floor having wet himself in his wheelchair. Tariq later sets up a fight by encouraging Phoenix to round up a gang to go after Gus after school, and secretly encouraging Gus to also bring a gang of his own. When it actually comes to it, Tariq, Josh and Tom turn up and break up the fight.

In Episode 4, Gus becomes attracted to Imogen's mother Sally when she comes into school to supervise the fundraiser for Tariq's kayaking gear. She tells him to text her his number. Gus bets Phoenix £10 that he will end up sleeping with Sally, and almost succeeds during Imogen's birthday party later, but Imogen bursts into the bedroom and stops them.

In Episode 5, Gus uses Madi for sex, leaving immediately afterwards despite her begging him to stay.

In Episode 6, Gus tries to ask Madi out to a gig, but she insults him.

In Episode 8, Gus is seen outside Morag Murray's house showing her something on his phone, before unwittingly letting slip to her father that the bench competition has a £5,000 cash prize for university loans. After this, Gus is not seen again, and his sudden disappearance is never explained.
