Stacey "Stace" Neville is a student at Waterloo Road High School. She seems to be the leader of a girl clique, as she always has a group of girls following her around.

Series 13[]

She first appears in Series 13 Episode 1 as one of a group of students who have poor attendance records. She gets into a fight with Samia Choudhry after stealing Danny Lewis's basketball shirt, which was going to be used in a framed tribute to his memory.

She makes frequent appearances throughout Series 13, such as when she attends Kelly Jo's talk about Jamaica in Episode 4, and in Episode 6 is among the students who are forced to come in on inset day to catch up on revision. This revision session ends with the teacher Marc Todd being locked in the cupboard by Schuey Weever, and the students end up running amok in the staffroom.

Series 14[]

In Series 14 Episode 3, Stace and her friends Aleena Qureshi and Lois Taylor-Brown are present when Schuey and his gang attack Billy Savage. When the gang drag Billy to the floor and pull his trousers down, Stace gets uncomfortable and runs away towards the school. When the headteacher and Billy's father Steve Savage comes out of the school, the gang scarpers in the other direction, and all Steve sees is Stace running away from Billy as Billy scrabbles to his feet and pulls his trousers up, and Steve suspends Stace on the spot.

Stace however doesn't drop Schuey in it and serves her suspension despite her innocence. In Series 14 Episode 4, Schuey thanks Stace for taking the rap for him and asks her out, but she turns him down.

In Series 14 Episode 6, Noel McManus makes a pizza for his crush Debs Rafferty, but when he discovers Debs flirting with someone else, he instead gives the pizza to Stace. Stace later offers Noel to "cop off with us sometime", and they unexpectedly end up being an item.

Noel's bandmate, Preston Walters, gets annoyed at Stace turning up to every band practice session and constantly interrupting a session to dramatically react to every tiny bit of news she reads on her phone about the Boz Osbourne murder case, and when he realises that she thinks she is the band manager, he has had enough and quits the band, though he eventually comes round when he realises how happy she makes Noel.

Stace later attends Preston's surprise 18th birthday party, organised by Noel.
