Budd plus Goodwin

I'm about halfway through the first season of Puberty Blues.  

I started thinking that Deb (Ashleigh Cummings) reminded me of someone.

Now I think I've figured out who.

Well, it's actually two people: Xenia Goodwin and Sibylla Budd.  Cummings' smile reminds me of Budd's, and then other aspects (not sure what) remind me of Goodwin.

The character Deb actually reminds me a bit of Tara (Goodwin's character) on Dance Academy.  How and why?  I don't know. I can't explain it.

Or maybe I can.

It could be that they share an eagerness to get a boy to like them. They both tend to end up in mortifying situations. They both kind of struggle between being good girls and naughty ones.
