Evan Cooper
Evan is a bright, mischievous 16 year-old boy, the son of Wendy and Murray Cooper . He's entrepreneurial, and an original thinker - but struggles with rules and authority.
As a young boy, Evan would often get his way out of trouble by making his parents laugh. But since becoming a teenager, this attitude has hampered Evan, who has had less luck joking his way out of trouble.
He talks back, asks difficult questions, and points out
hypocrisy. Although this kind of behaviour makes him an
admired leader amongst his peers, his parents and teachers find it
challenging.
Evan tends to question everything, and is a more resourceful
thinker than most teenagers his age. He thinks "outside of
the box", and is often coming up with get-rich schemes.
He's acutely aware of his parents financial struggle, and
believes becoming rich will make him immune to suffering - and
master of all those who wield authority over him.
His idols are the super celebrity entrepreneurs, such as Sam
Morgan, Richard Branson or Donald Trump.
Evan has harboured a secret crush on Ula Levi for sometime but struggled to get her attention.
Evan has recently claimed he's the father of Ula's unborn
baby, even though she actually got pregnant to someone else.
