McQuaid

Daniel McQuaid is one of the main characters of Everything Sucks! and a student at Boring High School. Along with Tyler he is one of Luke's best friends. He is portrayed by Rio Mangini.

Personality
At first glance, McQuaid is a typical nerd: socially rather shy and an absolute high-flyer at school. Before he acts, he weighs the risks rationally, which usually results in his not taking any.

Background
McQuaid is the biggest critic of Luke's and Kate's relationship - primarily because he can not imagine Luke actually having a chance. McQuaid overcomes his own shyness, as Tyler, Oliver, Emaline and he want to get high after school with legal substances and has been fascinated by Emaline since that day. The feeling intensifies when he comes in for the shooting in California for Oliver and kiss Emaline in front of the camera. She praises him for his skills and now he believes that Emaline returns his feelings. However, at the end of the season he has to find out painfully that he was wrong when he walks into the audataurim following Emaline to see her kissing Kate on the stage.
