Jed Seddon is the cousin of Lewis and he makes it evident that bad behaviour runs in the family. Tensions rise between him and Jack Rimmer when Jack bans his students from leaving the school gates at breaks to attend the Seddons' burger van.
In series 2, he opens a burger van outside the school at break and lunch time to make some quick cash off the students' unhealthy eating habits after junk food is banned in the school. He also sells drugs out of the van with the help of Lewis.
As Jed's anger builds up he confronts Jack one evening in the school car park but gets more than he bargained for when Jack fights back. As a result, Jed draws a knife which he tussles over with Jack. On seeing the struggle, Izzie Redpath runs to Jack Rimmer's aid but is fatally stabbed and dies in Jack's arms as Jed sprints away.
Jed was formerly a student at Waterloo Road, as mentioned by Jack in Series 2 Episode 11. Jack said he and Gemma made Lewis look like like Harry Potter and that Jed was a nasty piece of work, implying he had the same habits as Lewis but worse. Other than this nothing else is known about his school life.
