===Recurring===
* Sam Black ([[Gabrielle Anwar]]) replaced Julie as the head of the graphics team in the second series. Sam is very fashion conscious and a flirt, and is surprised when an actor rejects her advances in favour of Sarah.<ref name="love"/> Anwar had auditioned for the role of Lynda. (Many actors who unsuccessfully auditioned for main characters were invited back later for guest roles.)<ref name="putp"/> Moffat had expanded the role of Julie after the first series, but Lucy Benjamin was unavailable for series two. Sam, therefore, was basically the character of Julie under a different name, especially in her earlier episodes.<ref name="petford"/><ref>Steven Moffat & Julia Sawalha "Breakfast at Czar's" ''Press Gang: Series 2'' DVD audio commentary</ref>
* Danny McColl ([[Charlie Creed-Miles]]) the paper's photographer. Creed-Miles became disenchanted with his minor role and left after the second series.<ref name="putp"/>
* Toni "Tiddler" Tildesley ([[Joanna Dukes]]) is the junior member of the team, responsible for the junior section, ''Junior Junior Gazette''.
* Billy Homer (Andy Crowe) was also a recurring character. A [[tetraplegic]], he is very competent with computer networks, sometimes [[Hacker (computer security)|hacking]] into the school's database. His storylines are some of the first representations of the Internet in British television. Moffat felt that he was unable to sustain the character, and he appears only sporadically after the first series.<ref name="putp"/>

The main adults are deputy headmaster Bill Sullivan ([[Nick Stringer]]), maverick editor Matt Kerr ([[Clive Wood]]) and experienced ''Gazette'' reporter Chrissie Stewart ([[Angela Bruce]]).
