This is a list of the characters who have appeared in the BAFTA-award-winning trilogy of CBBC children's drama series The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker Returns and The Dumping Ground, which have spanned thirteen years between them. Connor Byrne, who plays Mike Milligan, is currently appearing in his tenth series and has been in all three programme. Dani Harmer has played the lead character Tracy Beaker in The Story Of Tracy Beaker and Tracy Beaker Returns for eight series.
Michael "Mike" Milligan MBE, made his first appearance on 8 January 2002 in series 1 of The Story of Tracy Beaker during the episode Tracy Returns to The Dumping Ground and departed in The End!. Mike returned in series 5 during the episode Caring and Sharing as a temporary care worker. He became head care worker in Operation Careworker. Mike appeared in all 3 series of Tracy Beaker Returns and so far, all series of The Dumping Ground. Mike is the longest serving character in the Tracy Beaker Franchise being in the very first episode back in 2002 as well as appearing in the books.
Mike is tall and slim, with grey hair and blue eyes. He is portrayed as a lovable, kind but firm guardian to the children in his care, able to deliver anger and humour to the children in equal doses.
Mike makes his first appearance in the first episode of "The Story of Tracy Beaker"; he is a care worker at Stowey House, and has been for some time – he is already on good terms with Tracy Beaker (Dani Harmer), thinking she's a 'good kid on the whole'. He leaves at the end of series 1 after an emergency call in another care home. Mike returns in series 5 as Elm Tree House's new chef. When Head Care Worker, Shelley Appelton (Nicola Reynolds), decides to leave Elm Tree House she holds interviews for possible head care workers, who none of the young people like, so they beg Mike to take up the role, which he does.
