We are bursting with pride as we share some brilliant news. Lucas from South Coast Kidz has secured a series regular role in Season 14 of The Dumping Ground on CBBC.
This summer, Lucas spent 12 weeks filming, living away from home and showing extraordinary resilience. It was not just a shoot, it was a personal journey for Lucas as he faced the challenge head-on and came out stronger, steadier, and more confident in himself.
The journey began with a submission from us on 10th April 2025. From there, the story unfolded: A self tape request. A recall. Then more recalls. Patience, hope, and belief carried Lucas (and us) through every stage, until that moment every actor dreams of. THE OFFER!
The exact moment Lucas found out he’d got the job!
“Lucas is an exceptional Young Actor, with focus well beyond his years” is how he was described by one of the Directors on set. Watching him grow through this process has been so special, and this achievement is very well deserved.
We are incredibly proud of you Lucas. With The Dumping Ground series 14 launching on CBBC @ 6:00 PM Friday 23rd January 2026 and another exciting opportunity already lined up, this is only the beginning.
The future is looking very bright indeed! 🎬✨📺
