( November 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) April Kepner was born in Columbus , Ohio on April 23 , 1982 . Her mother Karen is a teacher and her father Joe is a farmer . She is the second of four daughters ; her sisters are Libby , Kimmie , and Alice . Kepner is initially a surgical resident at Mercy West Hospital . She joins the staff at Seattle Grace Mercy West after the merger of the two hospitals , alongside Jackson Avery ( Jesse Williams ) , Reed Adamson ( Nora Zehetner ) , and Charles Percy ( Robert Baker ) . Kepner is first shown to possess a red diary , in which she writes all her feelings and thoughts which is stolen by Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) . Grey uses the personal information written in the notebook to unnerve and blackmail Kepner but later apologizes . After she made a mistake that led to a patient 's death , she is fired . However , Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) rehires her when he becomes the new Chief of Surgery . As she is not confident anymore , she spends her time doing errands for Shepherd and develops a crush on him , earning her the nickname `` Shepherd 's flunky '' . In the season six finale , she discovers the body of her best friend Reed Adamson , who has been shot . She later runs into the shooter , Gary Clark , who lets her go after she tells him about her life after remembering a technique she says she learned from Oprah . Following the shooting , Kepner and Avery move into Meredith Grey 's ( Ellen Pompeo ) house . Kepner reveals that she is a virgin because she is a Christian and made a promise to God to stay a virgin until she was married , she also states that she thinks men find her annoying after yelling at Alex , Meredith , Lexie and Jackson about secrets , she claims that the fact that she is a 28 year old virgin is not a drinks conversation . She shows potential as a trauma surgeon during a trauma drill . She develops feelings for Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) who almost makes her lose her virginity . When Avery , now her best friend finds out about this , he assaults Karev . Later , Kepner agrees to go on a date with Robert Stark , believing him to have a good side . Her fellow residents make fun of her which prompts her to break up with him . April also impresses Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) and she is ultimately granted the position of Chief Resident in the season seven finale . Kepner initially struggles with her new status as her fellow doctors do not listen to her and do not take her seriously . As the end of the fifth year of residency is near , the surgical residents , including Kepner , prepare for their boards exams for the different fellowships they plan on joining . The night before taking the exam , April loses her virginity to Avery . This causes her to re-evaluate her faith during her Boards Exams , making the examiners feel uncomfortable . It is revealed that she is the only one out of the residents to have failed her Boards Exams . She receives phone calls from other hospital retracting their offers of fellowships and is laid off from Seattle Grace . Although Avery has true feelings for her , she pushes him away because she believes that he feels guilty for having sex with her . As a celebration of the conclusion of their residencies , the former chief of surgery Richard Webber ( James Pickens , Jr . ) organizes his annual dinner for them . The eighth season ends with Kepner , Avery , Karev and Webber waiting for Meredith and Yang , who are victims of an aviation accident . Months later , Hunt goes to visit April , who had moved back to her parents ' farm in Moline , Ohio . In the wake of the tragic aviation accident , he offers her an attending position at the hospital . When she gets back to Seattle Grace , she resumes her sexual relationship with Avery , despite claiming she wants to re-virginise. April has a pregnancy scare and Jackson promises that he will be there every step of the way , even marry her , if she tests positive . When April finds out that she is not pregnant , she is overjoyed , but inadvertently hurts Jackson 's feelings by saying that they dodged a bullet , seemingly thrilled that they do n't have to get married anymore . Jackson breaks up with April . April suggests to Jackson that they each take a date to Bailey 's wedding in an attempt to move on . Jackson takes intern Stephanie ; the two bond and eventually have sex . When Jackson tells April that he is sleeping with somebody else , she is visibly crushed and tells him that they ca n't be friends again until she has gotten over him . In the next episode , a very attractive paramedic named Matthew ( Justin Bruening ) asks April out for coffee and they start seeing each other . Shortly afterwards she turns to Jackson for dating advice and it is hinted that Jackson is still in love with her when he shows signs of jealousy but Jackson overcomes his jealousy and they then re-establish their friendship . She confesses to Matthew that she is not a virgin anymore as she led him to believe and he breaks up with her because she lied to him . However , in the next episode , Matthew forgives April and they get back together . He asks her to marry him through a flash mob and she says yes . In the season 9 finale , April thinks she lost Jackson when a bus blew up and tells him she loves him , but he only has a few injuries . She remains engaged to Matthew while Jackson dates Stephanie . At the wedding , Jackson realizes he still loves April and stands up professing his love . Jackson and April are seen driving off together at the start of the following episode and later it is revealed that they have secretly eloped . At first April and Jackson do not tell their friends about their marriage , but later they do because of a new rule at the hospital . Catherine Avery is not at all happy about her son 's elopement with April , and the fact that there was n't a prenuptial agreement . They soon make up after April signs a postnuptial agreement .

Jackson believes that termination is the best option , however April would rather give birth to the baby knowing it will not live very long . They scheduled an induction for the next day , at the beginning of the appointment they are asked to sign their baby 's death certificate , which is too hard for the couple to bear . April does n't sign the papers and returns to work the same day praying for a miracle , while at work she has a heart to heart with a lady who lost her fiancé the night before . They decide to give birth to the baby via induction at 24 weeks gestation having it baptized right then . She gave birth to Samuel Norbert Avery , and he died a few hours after birth .

But after April states she needs this in order to grieve Samuel - Jackson lets her leave . Over the following months April lengthens her stay in the army , this having a strain on her and Jackson 's marriage as Jackson can rarely get a hold of her or talk to her over the phone . On Christmas Day after already being away for some time , April announces to Jackson while on video chat that she is staying for a longer service period , Jackson becomes angry with April but the conversation is cut short by sounds of gunfire and explosions from April 's base camp , leaving her to terminate the call ; meanwhile Jackson is unsure whether his wife is hurt or if she is ever coming home .

Complications arise when April 's water breaks and when rushed to the hospital , she appears to be in critical condition ; however she survives the delivery ( via c - section ) and she and Jackson are shown their new daughter . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) `` I think it 's a really fun character and , of course , getting to be on that show is wonderful and exciting for any actress in Hollywood . '' Drew on her role in Grey 's Anatomy . Drew was cast in late September 2009 and first appeared on the show in the fifth episode of the sixth season as one of the residents from the Mercy West Hospital after its merger with Seattle Grace . Drew was brought aboard Grey 's Anatomy after former collaborations with the Series ' producer and creator Shonda Rhimes ; she was formally featured as a guest in two episodes of Private Practice in 2008 and was one of the main cast in Rhimes television pilot Inside the Box ( 2009 ) which was eventually not picked up by ABC . Her casting came after the absence of some of the central cast members , notably Katherine Heigl departure after her maternity leave and Ellen Pompeo 's absence due to pregnancy . Drew was originally contracted to guest star in a multi-episodes story arc where her character would be eventually fired from the series after two episodes . She explained : `` I came on to the show and I was told from day one that I was only going to be there for two episodes . I did not expect anything beyond that . The morning my firing episode aired , my agent got a call that they were talking about a contract and I was just completely floored . '' However she was promoted to a series regular on June 9 , 2010 for the seventh season of the show . Rhimes said in the wake of the news : `` Kepner has really been folded into the group '' of Grey 's Anatomy adding `` It 'll depend on what the studio and the network decide to do with those actors , but I fully advocate to have ( the characters ) '' . Drew received the call for her promotion the morning after the sixth episode of season six was telecast on October 29 , 2009 . She described the call as a `` totally happy surprise '' . Characterization ( edit ) `` I love the idea that there 's this person that everybody kind of hates , yet they all have to deal with , ( and even ) lean on . She is one of them , even though they find her terribly annoying , and I think that that 's sort of charming . '' Drew 's character has been called intelligent , hardworking , thorough and determined by Grey 's Anatomy executives . But she is also considered vulnerable , insecure , sensitive and overly eager by her colleagues . Of the character , Drew said : `` April is a very , very good doctor . She really knows what she 's doing , she 's worked really hard , and she certainly wants to do her best and stick around . '' but also described her as `` annoying '' , `` neurotic '' and `` really insecure '' . In the eighth season , April 's position as chief resident and her struggle to get a handle on her fellow residents formed the central arc of her storyline . Rhimes explained : `` Watching April try to be in charge of Cristina and Alex and Jackson is a pretty impossible task , and it 's made for comedy , it 's one of the funniest things we 're working on this season . '' One of Kepner 's central characteristics is her religious belief , notably her chastity and her instance on saving herself for someone she truly loves . In an interview , Drew assessed that : There certainly has never been a 28 - year - old virgin on Grey 's . I do n't even think there 's been a 28 - year - old virgin on television . Unless it 's someone who is sort of a recluse . A normal , smart , doctor .... pretty , healthy ... that in and of itself is really fascinating , and really interesting , and totally different . It 's neat to see someone who is just totally clueless in that area . Everyone else ( On Grey ' Anatomy ) seems like they know exactly what they 're doing . April is totally , totally clueless . Shonda told one of the directors , there are virgins that have sort of done everything else . But not April . April 's really pretty much done nothing . She 's completely untouched . '' Relationships ( edit ) April and Jackson ( Jesse Williams ) 's sexual encounter makes her re-evaluate her faith and jeopardizes the course of her career . Kepner entertained several relationships throughout her time on Grey 's Anatomy . In her early appearances , she is introduced as the best friend and roommate of her fellow Mercy West resident , Reed Adamson . In the season six finale , when Reed is tragically murdered by Gary Clark during the shooting , April is the first to find her when she trips over her dead body . In season seven April forms a friendship with Meredith Grey and she eventually moves into her house . Ellen Pompeo offered regarding their bond : `` Meredith will accept April in order to get the audience to accept her , '' and Drew further explained : `` She 's being plugged into the community . Meredith has really taken her under her wing , is really looking out for her . Having Meredith come around to April helps the audience come around to April . '' She first develops a crush on Derek Shepherd in season six . Carina MacKenzie from The Los Angeles Times called it `` ridiculous '' and added : `` April is drooling all over Chief McDreamy . Vomit . ( ... ) She 's been reduced to a 12 - year - old with hearts in her eyes and a painful inability to be subtle . '' Drew herself was skeptical about it , saying : `` The biggest thing that people did not like about my character was they thought I was a threat for the Mer / Der relationship , which I kind of found was super ridiculous ( ... ) I never saw it as anything that would ever transpire into something that might threaten them . I only saw it as a really pathetic little crush . '' She briefly has feelings for Alex Karev who almost makes her lose her virginity when he tries to sleep with her in Something 's Gotta Give . Wetpaint commented that he made her feel `` worthless and unwanted when she was at her most vulnerable . '' Kepner also briefly dates Dr. Robert Stark , a senior pediatric surgical attending . After her fellow residents make fun of her , she breaks up with him , creating a coldness between them . However , it is Stark who recommends her as chief resident to Dr. Hunt . Drew stated : `` She sees a side to Dr. Stark that he does n't show to anyone else at the hospital , and she finds that part endearing ... I think they enjoy the companionship . '' In the end of season eight , Kepner embarks on a relationship with her best friend turned lover Jackson Avery ( Williams ) , who she loses her virginity to and that eventually leads her to reflect on her faith and fail her boards . Critics praised the chemistry between April and Jackon . Rhimes commented on the dynamic between the two in season nine and said : `` I think it 's going to be funny , sexy , and good . '' Reception ( edit ) Kepner 's crush on Shepherd in season six was disliked among television critics . The character received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike . Initially , Carina MacKenzie of the Los Angeles Times highly praised the characterization of Kepner . writing : `` One of my favorite Mercy Westers is intern April ( Sarah Drew ) . Her saccharine - sweet attitude and wide - eyed insincerity were hilarious , as was her super-mysterious hot pink notebook full of morale - boosting platitudes . '' However , she criticized the later development of her story , especially her crush on Derek Shepherd calling it `` vomit '' PopSugar noted similarities between Kepner and Lexie Grey , stating : `` Am I the only one who thinks the new doctor is kind of like Lexie 2.0 ? Their dynamic reminded me of when Lexie first started and tries really hard to make nice with Mere , but gets the cold shoulder in return . '' Mariella Mosthof from Wetpaint stated : `` Despite her obnoxious yet well - meaning tendencies , we briefly flirted with the idea of liking April 's character last season , and it looks like there 's plenty of opportunity for her to come back and charm us again yet again this time around . '' Reviewing the first part of the eight season , Courtney Morrison of TV Fanatic wrote : `` Although the girl has grown in terms of likeability , her downfalls still outweigh the positives . She does n't really bring too much to the table . She was n't the best choice for Chief Resident ; she does n't seem to be on the same level surgical wise and she has n't carried a story on her own that makes us care about her . '' Kepner was included in TV Guide 's list of The Most Loathed TV Characters , adding : `` The extremely neurotic April ( she makes Liz Lemon look laid back ) has slowly made strides with fans thanks to her personal setbacks -- she lost her treasured virginity to her best friend and failed her boards -- but she still has a long way to go . '' Entertainment Weekly also named her one of the `` 21 Most Annoying TV Characters Ever '' , commenting : `` April 's lightened up a little this season ( season 9 ) , but a few episodes of sympathetic behavior ca n't erase the painful memories of Seattle Grace - Mercy West 's most irritating doctor being . '' TV Fanatic included her in their list of Worst Character on TV . Christina Tran commented : `` Could she be any more annoying ? ! ? '' Drew stated that it was initially `` hard '' for her as an actress to play an unpopular character but deemed her `` interesting '' and when she was informed by the writers that her character would get Dr. Shepherd ( Dempsey ) shot in the season six finale , her reaction was : `` Oh , come on , guys , really ? They already hate my character , now they 're going to hate her even more ! '' Critics reception gradually changed positively . Entertainment Weekly noted : `` April was chirpy , irritating , and immature , and her crush on Derek did n't endear her to us either . But these days , we say hooray for April ; since Meredith declared that the two of them are pals , April 's become a lot more tolerable , instead of being Lexie 2.0 . '' Courtney Morrison of TVFanatic wrote : `` April has grown since her character was introduced . She 's no longer much less annoying than she used to be , and she 's honest . A girl with principles is a girl you want to do well . '' and described her and Avery as `` a couple for whom viewers can root '' . The Hollywood Reporter also remarked : `` It 's nice to see April with a bit of a backbone and putting Alex in his place as the newfound confidence suits her well .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Main characters 1.1 Drake Parker 1.2 Josh Nichols 1.3 Audrey Parker - Nichols 1.4 Walter Nichols 1.5 Megan Parker 2 Recurring characters 2.1 Craig Ramirez and Eric Blonowitz 2.2 Mindy Crenshaw 2.3 Helen Dubois 2.4 `` Crazy '' Steve 2.5 Gavin Mitchell 2.6 Mrs. Hayfer 2.7 Dr. Jeff Glazer 2.8 Bruce Winchill 3 Minor characters 3.1 Grammy Nichols 3.2 Papa Nichols 3.3 Aunt Catherine 3.4 Jackie 3.5 Wendy 3.6 Sammy 3.7 Trevor 3.8 Clayton 3.9 Janie 3.10 Corey 3.11 Vince 3.12 Karate instructor and coffee shop owner 3.13 Drew and Jerry 3.14 Henry Doheny 4 Drake 's girlfriends 4.1 Liza 4.2 Tori 4.3 Susan 4.4 Kelly Hayfer 4.5 Carly 4.6 Lucy 4.7 Christine 5 Drake 's band 5.1 Band members 5.1. 1 Scottie , Rina , and Paul 5.1. 2 Gary 5.1. 3 Julio 5.1. 4 Neil Kramer 6 References Main characters ( edit ) Drake Parker ( edit ) Drake Parker ( Drake Bell ) is depicted as a laid - back , charming , immature , and womanizing teenager . Although he often appears unintelligent , his under - achievement seems to be caused by apathy and he has been known not to think before he acts ( getting straight D 's in school ) . Drake has great interest in music , playing the electric guitar in a band throughout the series and liking all forms , his favorite being rock . He can also play several percussion instruments , shown in `` Megan 's New Teacher '' when he tried to play drums and guitar at the same time and in `` Josh Runs Into Oprah '' where he played the bongos . He usually takes advantage of Josh to get what he wants . He has a lot of success with girls and much of the comedy is his effortless ability to get dates . Drake is also very unhygienic ( not washing hands , eating food off the floor ) . Drake feels embarrassed about his new stepbrother at first , but grows to accept Josh . Despite his arrogance and selfishness , Drake still redeems himself by doing the right thing . He becomes more mature as the series progresses . In 2010 , Drake Bell made an appearance in the iCarly Season 3 episode `` iBloop '' which stars his Drake & Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove . He reprised his role as Drake Parker to make an appearance in the episode , during which he seems to have stepped into the alternate fictional universe of iCarly where he recognizes Cosgrove 's character as Megan Parker and follows by asking the whereabouts of Josh and the rest of his family . Josh Nichols ( edit ) Josh Nichols ( Josh Peck ) is Drake and Megan 's stepbrother . Unlike his stepbrother , Josh is smart , conscientious , sensible , and does well in school , although he is not often the socially stable one . In the pilot episode , he had a job for the school newspaper in which he wrote under the name Miss Nancy . In season two , he begins working for Helen at the fictional Premiere movie theatre . Unlike Drake , Josh often stresses over school a lot and uses his common sense , often repeating things for emphasis when anxious . Despite his good moral compass and punctuality , Josh is prone to bad luck , especially with girls . However , later , he begins to date Mindy Crenshaw , who is his academic rival . He has all sorts of hobbies , including cooking and performing magic tricks . Later in the series , Josh becomes more popular and gains better luck . He is obsessed with Oprah Winfrey and accidentally ran her over with his car in Josh Runs into Oprah . Audrey Parker - Nichols ( edit ) Audrey ( Nancy Sullivan ) is Drake and Megan 's mother and Josh 's stepmother . Her first name is never mentioned in the series , but is revealed in most scripts as `` Audrey '' . She is usually telling the boys to try not to be so immature . She upsets her husband Walter because of her preference to Bruce Winchill , his rival weatherman . Because Walter is unable to discipline the boys , she usually has to punish the boys although these punishments are usually unfair because most are Megan 's fault . As stepmother and stepson , Audrey and Josh have a very fond relationship , and he affectionately calls her `` Mom '' or `` Mama '' . Her profession was never specified in the series , but it is generally assumed that she is a stay - at - home mom . She is a very generous and loving mother however a bit naive when it comes to her daughter Megan , especially when it is Megan 's word against Drake and Josh . Walter Nichols ( edit ) Walter ( Jonathan Goldstein ) is Josh 's father and Drake and Megan 's stepfather . He is a meteorologist for a local TV news program in San Diego , but he is often wrong about the weather . Walter is often clumsy , out of date , and seemingly empty - headed . As a result , he lacks the respect of his stepchildren , who refer to him by his first name . When Megan calls him by his first name , he always asks `` When did she start calling me Walter ? '' and Audrey replies `` I do n't know . '' He is also clueless and skeptical in regards to Megan 's pranks which have caused the boys a lot of punishments , although starting in the episode `` The Demonator '' , Walter slowly begins to notice Megan 's evil ways . A running gag involves a rivalry between him and Bruce Winchill , an unseen weatherman from another station . He hates that Winchill is so popular , as he is always right with his predictions , and even forbids the use of Winchill 's name in the family home . Megan Parker ( edit ) Megan Parker ( Miranda Cosgrove ) is the younger sister and stepsister of Drake and Josh . Megan often references a best friend named Janie and often refers to her older brothers as `` boobs . '' Although at times Megan helps her brothers , she is usually antagonistic and hostile to them . It has also been shown that she is very smart and quick - witted ; she can pull off very extreme , cruel and sometimes complicated ( or even potentially dangerous ) pranks on her brothers all while ensuring that her parents think of her as being a `` sweet little girl '' ( also believing her to be always innocent ) . However , in the episode , `` The Affair '' , Megan calls Drake a `` boob '' and Josh `` gross '' in front of her mother , who does not react . Even when an incident has nothing to do with them she still manages to take their distrust from others as an advantage . This has even gone so far as to suggest that she might even possess genius - level intelligence , for example building a hidden computerized monitor in her room . Most of the time throughout the series , Megan is very conceited , rude , sassy , and mean to her brothers . However , despite her near - constant harassing them , Megan actually loves her brothers deep down and has shown them genuine love and gratefulness when they uncovered that her then - boyfriend had been cheating on her . Recurring characters ( edit ) Craig ramirez and Eric blonowitz ( edit ) Craig ( Alec Medlock ) and Eric ( Scott Halberstadt ) are two stereotypical `` nerdy '' honor students that are always being exploited by Drake , mostly due to his hare - brained schemes . Drake often mistakes Eric for Craig . Craig corrected him one time , and Drake sarcastically said `` It matters '' . Eric first appeared in the pilot episode as an extra and along with his best friend , Craig , a few times in Season 2 and 3 , but they appear more frequently in Season 4 , and also appear in the television film Drake & Josh : Really Big Shrimp . They usually are good friends and good in nature , but not free of a selfish side . Drake is so unkind to them that anytime they try to talk with them he rudely shuts the door in their face and tells them that there are lots of reasons why they do not have girlfriends . Eric left for Puerto Rico in the final episode , `` Dance Contest . '' 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 . It is revealed in the episode Who 's Got Game that Craig and Eric do not consider themselves to be friends with Drake because of the bad things he has done to them . Mindy Crenshaw ( edit ) Mindy ( Allison Scagliotti ) is an intelligent but boastful girl at school who is always trying to be better than Drake and Josh , especially Josh , who is her rival . She also shows an extreme hatred for Drake , too . For example in `` Honor Council '' , she took apart Mrs. Hayfer 's car and rebuilt it in the middle of her classroom to frame Drake for the prank and have him suspended . For this misdeed , Mindy was sent to a mental hospital , causing a temporary departure from the series , but she eventually reappeared in `` Mindy 's Back '' to compete in the school science fair . Later on , she became Josh 's on - again off - again girlfriend , and the two enjoy studying together . One of Mindy 's well - known character traits is her extraordinary intelligence and scientific talents . She defeats Josh yearly in the science fair with the exception of one year after they started to date and she let him win , which she enjoys rubbing in his face at times . She also cloned her pet Cockapoo , and has a love of sharks . Helen Dubois ( edit ) Helen Ophelia Dubois ( Yvette Nicole Brown ) is the manager of the Premiere Theater , connected to the Premiere Galleria mall . She is Josh 's boss at the theater , and is known for her intimidating demeanor , loud voice , and demanding attitude towards employees . She adores Drake , but dislikes Josh despite the hard work he puts in at the theater . She starred in a hit television sitcom as a child , called Happy Times ( a parody of the classic 1970s TV sitcoms Happy Days and Good Times ) . She married Buzz Baxter in `` Drake & Josh : Really Big Shrimp '' , but divorced him some time before Merry Christmas , Drake & Josh after 5 weeks . Yvette Nicole Brown plays Helen throughout the series , but Frances Callier filled in for her in the season two episode `` Little Diva '' . Helen appears in a 2011 episode of Victorious in which she becomes the principal of Hollywood Arts High School . She later appears in a 2015 episode of Game Shakers , in which she hosts her own talk show titled The Helen Show . `` Crazy '' Steve ( edit ) Not to be confused with Crazzy Steve . 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 . Incredibly sensitive , 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 . In seasons 2 and 3 , he had a lot of hair but in season 4 his head was shaved . He appears in the program 's 2008 Christmas special , most notably towards its conclusion , where he shreds hunks of cheese in a wood chipper in order to grant his friends ' wish for a white Christmas . He later appeared in an episode of the series Sam and Cat where he is revealed to have been placed at a mental institution for the sick with a restrictive mask over his face . Gavin mitchell ( edit ) 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 ) . A running gag throughout the series involved Helen asking him to tell Josh to clean something unusual in the theater . He normally declines doing it himself when Josh asks if he would do it . He then cleans up the mess himself - telling Josh `` I got it '' . He also has a crush on Audrey . He can apparently get away with anything at work , like taking a nap on the roof . He first appeared in `` Driver 's License '' and made an appearance in Merry Christmas , Drake & Josh . Gavin appears in iCarly in Season 4 episode `` iStart a Fan War '' with Craig and Eric . Mrs. Hayfer ( edit ) Mrs. Hayfer ( Julia Duffy ) is the boys ' English teacher who adores Josh due to his hard - working personality , but hates Drake because of his consistently poor performance in school ; likewise , as noted by his doodles of her in his notebook , as seen in `` Honor Council '' , Drake hates her in return . In the episode `` Mean Teacher '' , Mrs. Hayfer is shown to hate Drake for no apparent reason as it is shown that when he answered a question correctly , she dubbed it incorrect and appointed the same question 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 . In fact , her catchphrase is `` I hate you , Drake '' , with Drake responding , `` I know '' . She also always says `` To the nurse ! '' , which is her own way of telling people to leave her classroom . In `` Little Sibling '' , Mrs. Hayfer says it to Josh when she wanted to have a private talk with Drake . Mrs. Hayfer has a daughter named Kelly , who Drake briefly dates , much to her discontent . In `` Honor Council '' , she comes into the classroom to find her car parked where the boys ' seats are originally and accuses Drake of putting the car there , but her star student , Mindy , is the real culprit . Drake apparently hates Mrs. Hayfer so much that he wishes she would die , as seen in the episode , `` Megan 's First Kiss '' , in which Josh says `` You 're not gon na believe this ! '' and Drake asks in an anxious and excited tone , `` Mrs. Hayfer died ? ! '' Mrs. Hayfer has a Rottweiler named Tiberius , who appears in the season 4 episode `` Vicious Tiberius '' and is violent towards Drake and Josh , who had agreed to house sit for her . She has a brief appearance in Merry Christmas , Drake & Josh , where Drake accidentally hits a fire hydrant while driving , resulting in water getting sprayed all over her . She then points out and yells her famous line : `` I Hate You , Drake Parker ! '' In the season 2 finale `` Honor Council '' , Josh mentions her full name as being Alice Hayfer . However , in `` Vicious Tiberious '' , a video shows her full name as being Linda Hayfer . Dr. jeff Glazer ( edit ) Dr. Glazer ( Roark Critchlow ) is a doctor who lives across the street from the boys . He is always called on whenever a serious emergency happens at their house . Although he always seems kind while performing medical procedures for the boys , he always leaves them with a ridiculously high bill for his services ( he once charged $100 for diagnosing a sheep as pregnant after it had already given birth and an extra $50 not to tell Audrey and Walter , and charged $300 for diagnosing Drake 's facial rash ) . He first appeared in `` The Bet '' and he last appeared in `` Sheep Thrills '' . Bruce Winchill ( edit ) Although Bruce Winchill is never seen in Drake & Josh , he is mentioned throughout the series . Megan and Audrey have a crush on him because he has good hair . He is a rival weatherman of Walter , and he always gets the weather right . Minor characters ( edit ) Grammy Nichols ( edit ) Grammy ( Randee Heller ) is Josh 's grandmother and Walter 's mother . She loves Josh and Megan , but she hates Drake . In her only appearance in `` Grammy '' , she expresses anger towards Drake when he decides to go to a concert even though Audrey and Walter said that he could not . At the end of the episode , Grammy shows affection toward Drake when he attempts to tell his parents the truth . She is later mentioned frequently . She sent gifts to Josh many times . She is last mentioned in `` Merry Christmas , Drake and Josh '' . Papa Nichols ( edit ) Papa Nichols ( Vernon Roberts ) is Josh 's great - grandfather and Walter 's grandfather . In his only appearance in `` The Demonator '' , he had surgery and said he fought in World War II . Walter tells Drake and Josh that they are not allowed to ride The Demonator roller coaster and he and Audrey tell the boys to stay home and watch Papa Nichols . Meanwhile , Drake lets Craig and Eric come over and watch him while the boys and Megan go to Mystic Mountain to ride the Demonator , but when he wakes up disoriented , he thinks he is back in the war and attacks them , thinking they are Germans ( whom he called `` German Nerds '' ) . At the end of The Demonator , Walter tries to wake him up and he punches him when he called him a `` German . '' He is later mentioned once by Josh in `` The Wedding '' . Aunt Catherine ( edit ) Catherine is Drake and Josh 's great - aunt . She is mentioned in the episode `` The Wedding '' , where it is revealed that she is getting married and she collects hair from people she does not know . Although she is never seen , she is described as being mean , and is apparently hated by her family , including Josh . She also owns a beach - house , which the family wants to receive . According to Drake she is `` old and gross '' . Jackie ( edit ) Jackie ( Robin Sydney ) is obsessed with Drake and appeared in a total of four episodes . She would come into the scene randomly ( usually at the end , specifically when something positive happens to Drake ) , and shout hysterically , `` I love you ! Bye ! '' In response , Drake would ask , `` Who are you ? '' Wendy ( edit ) Wendy ( Alyson Stoner ) is a girl that had an obsessive crush on Drake in the episode `` Number 1 Fan '' , her sole appearance . She is approximately the same age as Megan , and is in a camp club with Megan and some other children . Sammy ( edit ) Sammy ( Jordan Wright ) is a young child that Drake needed to take care of as part of a Big Sibling program because he got in trouble for lying to Mrs. Hayfer ( Julia Duffy ) about being in class on time . While Drake proceeds to take care of Sammy , he ( Sammy ) wanted Josh to be his big sibling . Sammy considers Josh to be the coolest guy ever , something that most characters think about Drake . Trevor ( edit ) Trevor ( Taran Killam ) is Drake 's absent - minded friend and Scottie 's older brother . Even though he only appeared in `` Dune Buggy '' , he is mentioned several times in the series , and his voice is heard over the phone in `` Josh Runs into Oprah '' . Trevor gets a brain scan every month , due to his unintelligence as found out in `` Dune Buggy '' . In `` The Wedding '' , the boys use his old car ( a Chevrolet El Camino ) to get to their great aunt Catherine 's wedding , but it breaks down and later catches fire . Clayton ( edit ) Clayton ( Josh Sussman ) is one of the nerdy children at school . He has speech problems since he mumbles and no one can understand what he is saying . Even Craig and Eric call him a `` nerd , '' considering that they are nerds themselves . He appears only in `` Josh is Done '' and `` Eric Punches Drake '' . In `` Eric Punches Drake , '' he begins to dislike Drake when Drake spits blue mouthwash into his bottled water , and he even goes as far as to find out where Drake and Josh live just so he could repeat `` Why ? '' However , fans have speculated that since `` Eric Punches Drake '' took place after `` Josh is Done '' then Drake spitting mouthwash into his bottle would be considered revenge for the chemistry incident that Clayton caused on Drake . Janie ( edit ) Megan 's best friend ( Jasmine McNeal ) . She is mentioned in several episodes of Season 4 and appears in `` Megan 's Revenge '' and `` Megan 's First Kiss '' . Corey ( edit ) Corey ( Christian Vandal ) is Megan 's first boyfriend . He appears only in the episode `` Megan 's First Kiss '' , in which Drake and Josh expose his cheating on her with another girl named Monica ( Kelly Heyer ) . Vince ( edit ) Vince ( D. Elliot Woods ) is a helicopter pilot who appears in `` Helicopter '' . He gives Drake a lesson about skydiving and he takes him and Josh on a ride in his helicopter . However , he becomes unconscious after hitting his head on a fire extinguisher . When the boys try to wake him up , Josh accidentally sprays him out of the helicopter with the fire extinguisher . When Drake and Josh get home , Vince comes in angrily and gives Walter a $400,000 bill for the damaged helicopter . Drake and Josh , knowing the consequences , ground themselves for two weeks . Karate instructor and coffee shop owner ( edit ) Played by Toshi Toda . He first appears in the pilot as Josh 's karate instructor . He is later seen in `` First Crush '' saying that his karate place burnt down . Since then he has become the owner of a coffee shop where he held auditions for a band . He banned Drake from entering the shop because Drake had a snake in his backpack which was put there by Megan . However Cathy , Josh 's crush at the time , spoke to him about giving them another chance . Drew and Jerry ( edit ) Drew ( James Immekus ) and Jerry ( Stephen Markarian ) are two boys who look and act like Drake and Josh . They appeared only in the episode `` Drew & Jerry '' . Drew plays the saxophone and flirts with girls while Jerry likes pool , video games and magic tricks . Josh began hanging out with Drew , making Drake jealous , which led to the friendship between him and Jerry . Aside from being a good comedian , Jerry also plays a lot of pool at the Premiere . Josh and Drew then attend a movie premiere that Drake and Josh were going to see originally , so Drake angrily gets back at Josh by spending the day with Jerry fishing . However , during an argument , Drake has Jerry do a magic trick which involved cutting a girl 's ponytail and then putting it back clear in position . Josh then tells Drew to entertain everyone in the Premiere by playing the saxophone . A talent agent sees them and decides to give them their own TV show , a comedy about two brothers . Drake and Josh then watch the show themselves . Henry Doheny ( edit ) Henry Doheny ( Steve Tom ) is a formerly famous magician who moves in with the family in the episode `` The Great Doheny '' . Josh , Walter and Megan idolize him while Drake hates him . Doheny does magic wherever he goes , such as interfering with random people and doing magic tricks for them and even puts a sandwich inside his stomach without eating it . When Drake could no longer stand Doheny being in the house , he tried to harm him with a baseball bat but Josh decided to help him become famous again instead . Megan came up with a trick called `` The Box of Impalement '' , which backfired due to putting Doheny in a large box and sticking swords into his body , killing him . However at the funeral Henry came back to life and regained his career and went off to Las Vegas to perform there for four years . Drake 's girlfriends ( edit ) Liza ( edit ) Liza , nicknamed Hot Liza by Drake , was Drake 's girlfriend in the Dr. Phyllis show episode . Tori ( edit ) Tori was Drake 's girlfriend in the episode `` Playing the Field . '' Drake wants to get back with her so he dates Hot Liza to get her back . Susan ( edit ) Susan ( Ashley Drane ) was Drake 's girlfriend in the episode `` Believe Me , Brother '' . She loved Drake but then ended up cheating on him by flirting with Josh . Whenever Drake would come near Susan with Josh , Susan would pretend not to love Josh . She is a very manipulative and selfish character . Susan would play on the brothers ' relationship to get what she wanted , however she did not know how strong the bond was between the two brothers . As revenge , Drake and Josh planted some purple paint in her locker and it splattered all over her when she opened the door . She is later exposed when a prank created by Megan on their video project for class is tampered to reveal embarrassing images of the boys , including a shot of Susan kissing Josh , much to Drake 's dismay . Kelly Hayfer ( edit ) Kelly Hayfer ( Chelsea Brummet ) is Mrs. Hayfer 's daughter . She appears only in the episode `` Mean Teacher '' , in which she dates Drake . She has a laughing problem throughout the episode , much to Drake 's annoyance . Although she loves him , she ends the relationship -- much to Drake 's excitement -- because she does not believe it is working out . Carly ( edit ) Carly ( Brittany Curran ) is Drake 's girlfriend . She first appears in `` Who 's Got Game '' where Josh challenges Drake on who can get the most dates . Drake meets her at the CD shop where she works and he falls in love with her at first sight . Carly grew fond of him too after meeting him . She dumps Drake when she found out about the bet , thinking Drake is just using her . He then proves to her that he can be honest and they continue dating .
