This article provides a list of characters from the American television sitcom Drake & Josh along with a brief synopsis of the time each of them spent on the show.
Airing on Nickelodeon from January 11, 2004, to September 16, 2007, Drake & Josh was created by Dan Schneider, who also served as executive producer.
He likes all genres of music including rock and country as seen in “Dance Contest” while he and Josh are seen in cowboy hats.
He often shrugs off the consequences of his actions, acts bitter towards others, plays dirty, lacks respect for them, slacks off at school, and uses other people, which can get him into trouble.
Unlike Drake, Josh is knowledgeable, diligent, caring, responsible, a good hard-working student and socially awkward.
[2] Peck described his character as having a Jackie Gleason quality, and said, "Not only can Josh do the physical comedy and the pratfalls, but he can also sell a sophisticated joke and a touching moment.
Audrey Parker-Nichols[4] (Nancy Sullivan) is Drake and Megan's biological mother, Josh's stepmother and Walter's wife.
Walter Nichols (Jonathan Goldstein) is Josh's biological father, Drake and Megan's stepfather and Audrey's husband.
It has also been shown that she is very wise and intelligent; she can play very severe, torturous and sometimes complicated (or even potentially dangerous) pranks on her brothers, all while ensuring that her parents think of her as being a sweet, angelic, harmless, and innocent little girl.
[6] Another episode shows that she has a hidden computerized monitor in her room, giving her surveillance of the house to aid in her pranks against Drake and Josh.
She had shown them genuine love and support when they uncovered that her boyfriend Corey (Christian Vandal) had been cheating on her with another girl named Monica.
Yvette Nicole Brown played Helen for most of the series, except the Season 2 episode "Little Diva," in which Frances Callier took over the role.
Steve (Jerry Trainor) is an employee at the Premiere movie theater who is noted for his emotional and mental instability, lashing out at co-workers, strangers, and passersby over little things.
Steve takes offense at the slightest of subjects or even the most thoroughly minor hints at insults, hollering at others for interrupting him or denying his questions, desires, or offers.
Steve's utter lack of sanity has earned him a dangerously unpredictable reputation amongst colleagues, to the extent where he finds immense frustration in following along with episodes of Dora the Explorer, screaming at the animated characters on the screen.
He later appeared in an episode of the series Sam & Cat where he is revealed to have been placed at a mental institution for the sick, with a restrictive mask over his face.
She also shows an intense dislike for Drake, and the feeling is mutual, equivalent to Kimmy Gibbler and Stephanie Tanner from Full House.
Craig (Alec Medlock) and Eric (Scott Halberstadt) are a duo of stereotypical nerd students that are always being exploited by Drake, mostly due to his hare-brained schemes.
Craig and Eric appear with another Drake & Josh character, Gavin, in the 2010 iCarly episode "iStart a Fan War", implying that the two series take place within the same universe.
Gavin (Jake Farrow) works with Josh at the Premiere, and he has a mullet-like haircut similar in fashion to Rod Stewart (in "Who's Got Game" he got a perm).
In the episode "Mean Teacher," Mrs. Hayfer is shown to hate Drake for no apparent reason except for how he shrugs school off and doesn't do outstanding work much as it is shown that when he answered a question correctly, she dubbed it incorrect and appointed the same problem correct to another student right next to him as well as grading a flawless report he did with a "D−" again for no logical reason.
Drake falls for Michelle at the Premiere which leads to him intentionally dropping the gummy bears on the floor for her to help pick them up for him.
As they're dating Drake lies about his favorite author and what he likes most about him as he does not read books himself, in order to impress Michelle.
She tells him that she will be participating in the Academic Bowl and Drake unknowingly decides to join in, thinking she wanted to make out with him.
Even though the Belleview team wins, Drake then takes Michelle to the janitor's closet where Josh previously was when he was giving him the answers, to confess to her that he wasn't as brainy as she thought he was and that he didn't know who Mark Twain was, that he hated foreign films and that the only reason he knew the names of those gases was that Josh helped him in an all-night study session.
Lucy (Gabrielle Christian) is introduced in the episode "Girl Power," in which she physically defends Drake against a football player.
Rina (Molly Orr) is the bassist of Drake's band, while Paul (Jeremy Ray Valdez) is the rhythm guitarist.
Drake and the three band members are detained at a concert because Scottie photocopied their tickets in the episode "Grammy," the three's final appearance.
In the episode "Megan's New Teacher," Drake has 5th grader Neil Kramer (Ridge Canipe) play in his band after his original drummer leaves.
Three band members, Gary (Dan Mott), Julio (Shiloh Fernandez), and an unnamed guitarist, appear in "The Storm."
