Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tracy Beaker Returns (2010-2012) is the sequel to The Story of Tracy Beaker which told the story of Tracy, a headstrong, imaginative girl who grew up in an orphanage after her mother left her there. That is until she met the writer Cam who was only supposed to write an article about the children but ended up fostering Tracy. Fast forward a few years and Tracy borrows Cam's credit card and uses a few thousand pounds to publish an autobiography. To pay back Cam's money, Tracy ends up working at her old home, the "Dumping Ground", and stays on given a chance to leave.The show ran for 3 seasons with 39 episodes which ended with Tracy leaving the Dumping Ground again. A Spin-Off series entitled The Dumping Ground began airing in 2013 which follows the lives of the kids, both old and new, after Tracy leaves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: Grandad is full of it. The mention that Cam might foster - she fosters Lily two episodes later. And all the kids being moved to Burnywood at the Series 2 opener - Series 3 reverses this with Burnywood kids being moved to Elmtree.

Continuity Nod: Subverted in Shadows from Tracy Beaker Returns. In the original episode Time Capsule, a time capsule is buried. In Shadows, it's dug up and included footage of a younger Tracy from "Hollywood". However, the Time Capsule was buried in Stowey House and they moved to Cliffside in the next series before moving to Elm Tree House in Series 5, which is also where the new show takes place now. Justine Littlewood Returns has a Call-Back to Jenny's clothes being stolen. Of course, Jenny's name isn't mentioned, Gina's standing right there (Jenny is actually mentioned one scene later, in relation to this incident). And eating a worm.

Color-Coded Characters: The kids are all associated with their own colour seen in the clothes that they usually wear. This is also sometimes reflected in their room wallpapers or possessions. This is continued into Series 1 of The Dumping Ground, before being seemingly thrown out of the window from Series 2 onwards.

Cerebus Syndrome: Tracy Beaker Superstar has Tracy being arrested. The Burnywood Menace has Lily almost dying. Slow Burn/The Visitors has two fires at two care homes in quick succession and some new kids with major problems, with lots of screaming and an insensitive social worker. Discussed with Gus and his "Falling List". Series 3, in general, is pretty dark compared to the previous series with more moments of tension and suspense, plus more drama from families and all the kids.
