Myles Massey was a student at Waterloo Road High School and the son of Rose Massey.

In Series 12 Episode 1, Myles breaks his ankle after being tackled by fellow pupil Dwayne Jackson during a football match. Myles later stirs up trouble for Dwayne by manipulating Zayne into wanting to stay with their foster parents Joe and Mike instead of their birth mother Lisa.

In Series 12 Episode 6, Myles challenges Preston Walters to a race for the charity run. Before they begin, Myles makes a comment about Kai and Preston's relationship, to which Preston responds calling him a homophobic idiot. During the run, Myles comes across Preston's unresponsive body after his cardiac arrest, but chooses to move on and win the race. Dwayne figures out that he must have passed by Preston in order to win, and so the school begin to blame Myles for Preston almost dying.

In Series 12 Episode 7, the students continue to hate Myles, and Tonya hits him in the face with a sausage roll after he mocks Preston's bulimia. Throughout the episode, Myles becomes increasingly irate, and ends up locking himself in the recording studio of 'Radio Waterloo Road' and shouts and screams over the mic for the whole school to hear, about how the students and teacher are 'losers' and 'pathetic', and graphically describes Preston's bulimia, before Donte cuts the power to the room.

Myles's mother berates him, but he hits her and locks her in a cupboard with Danny Lewis and Samia Choudhry, before deliberately starting a fire. Danny breaks out of the cupboard and physically fights Myles, ending up knocking him out, before saving Myles's mother, Rose and Samia Choudhry from the burning building. After Danny helps Myles out, the fire causes an explosion and Danny is killed.

Myles is last seeing crying in a police cell, having been arrested following the fire.

Personality[]

Myles exhibits extreme arrogance, possibly bordering on narcissistic personality disorder, openly believing himself to be better than everyone and that all the other students at the school are just 'sheep'. He acts aggressively towards pretty much everyone.
