Lucas Sheridan

History
Lucas Sheridan is the youngest son of John and Mira, originally from Eljay. His family moved to Merlow to give Lucas in particular a fresh start after a difficult year for both him and his parents.

Personality
Lucas is not afraid to show his feelings and is incredibly extroverted. This can both endear him to people, and annoy them if they do not share his openness. He wears his heart on his sleeve, is outgoing and generous, and generally well liked. However, he also has a tendency to let despair overtake him and drive him to harmful behaviour, such as alcohol abuse.

Family
John - Lucas is not particularly close to his father, who is a fairly quiet man.

Mira - Lucas was closer to his mother prior to moving to Merlow. The reasons for their move put strain on their relationship but they finally started regaining their bond in the later seasons of Storm Front.

Anna - Is rarely mentioned and never seen in person.

Ashley Miller
Lucas's girlfriend prior to moving to Merlow, the two shared an intense relationship that was extremely sexual. The two were from completely different social circles, with Ashley coming from one of Eljay's most affluent families. Their relationship ended prematurely when Ashley became pregnant and was sent away to save face for her family. The fallout caused the Sheridans to feel moving away would be better for their family.

Daniel 'Storm' Marcus
Storm was one of the first friends Lucas made in Merlow and the two developed a sudden, close friendship that quickly grew into love for Lucas. Though it took some time for them to reconcile their feelings for one another, once they did, the relationship was intense, and for Lucas, the strongest he'd known until now. Dealing with a same sex relationship caused problems for the couple, mostly on Storm's part, as he was unfamiliar with exploring his sexuality with another male. Lucas, on the other hand, had dabbled in his own bisexuality and was comfortable with it by now.

Issues With Addiction
Lucas has constantly struggled with his addiction to alcohol, particularly when things aren't going well in his life. Since Storm was a teetotaller, his drinking dropped dramatically, but when Storm left Merlow, Lucas's drinking became serious enough that several interventions were attempted. By the end of Storm Front, he still hasn't fully conquered his demons.
