• After Ginger's emotional heart-break with Darren, Ginger found comfort in Orion (voiced by Justin Cowden). The two share a boyfriend-girlfriend-like relationship, but Ginger says that she doesn't want a boyfriend. He is the drummer of the band that Ginger is a part of. In The Wedding Frame the two have a rough time getting past Ginger's new curiosity about Darren, but Ginger quickly gets over it.
• When Darren felt that his relationship with Ginger wasn't fresh, he cheated on her with cheerleader Simone (voiced by Erica Luttrell). Darren and Ginger break up and Simone and Darren stay together. In The Wedding Frame, Darren seems to be caught up in Ginger. Simone turns to Miranda for advice, since Miranda is an expert on both Ginger and Darren. Miranda inspires her to go get her man.
• Ginger met Sasha (voiced by J. Evan Bonifant) at Camp Caprice. The two developed crushes on each other, but when Sasha heard Courtney talking about Ginger and Ian, he becomes jealous and feels betrayed. However, when Ginger leaves camp, she and Sasha are on good terms. In Ginger's Solo, the school band is going to Sasha's school in Heathered Hills to perform. Ginger uses this opportunity to see Sasha again, but is crushed when she finds out that he's gotten back together with his ex. girlfriend(who had cheated dumped him before). Its an interesting to note that his girlfriend is goregous, shallow, and snobbish, the exact opposite of Ginger. Then, the next summer, in Heat Lightning, Ginger returns to camp. She imagines she sees Sasha and feels bad that she's obsessing over him and not thinking about her boyfriend, Darren. When he sends a message to Ginger asking her to meet him on the beach, she does. But it turns out he "just wanted to say 'hey'", not get a date. Ginger realizes that she doesn't want Sasha for a boyfriend, what she wanted were the feelings she had when she first met him.

• Hope Rogers, a classmate of Ginger's. She initially appeared as a background character on the show. In the episode "No Hope for Courtney," Ginger, Dodie and Macie found her crying in the girls' bathroom after Courtney called her "Faith" as she and her close group snubbed her. They decided to help her come out of her shell, giving her a list of a list of tips. However, this resulted in them accidentally creating a monster, as Hope became more or less another version of Courtney. Overnight, Hope's popularity bloomed and she became a hit with the cool girls. Courtney was expelled from the clique and Hope usurped her position as the most popular girl in school. After several failed attempts to rid herself of Hope, and a heated fight, it comes to light that Hope used Courtney as a model for her new look, flattering Courtney. She joins Courtney's inner circle.

• The Popular Girls, or "The A List" as Dodie once called them, are a clique of classmates that act as Courtney Gripling's entourage. Though the members are not always seen together, they are officially Missy, Mindy, Traci, Stacey, Casey, Donna, Diva, Dinah, Heather, Lonnie, and Hope. Aside from Miranda, Mipsy and Hope, the girls in the clique rarely have any part in the show's plot, and seldom have any dialogue. Despite having Courtney as their leader, they are shown not to be actual friends, as they would willingly turn on Courtney if her social status slipped. In the episode No Hope for Courtney, they threw Courtney from their group without a thought after Hope Rogers became more popular. However they appear to be on friendly terms with Ginger, but apparently cannot tolerate Dodie or Macie. In the episode About Face, Dodie's attitude toward the popular girls changed after they made hurtful remarks about her mother, and she realised just how superficial they were. When Dodie enters high school, she focuses on trying to make the pep squad.

• Always a member of Carl's class, Noelle Sussman (voiced by As Told By Ginger creator Emily Kapnek) has telekinetic powers (she can move things with her mind). In And She Was Gone, Carl thought that no one would miss her if he used her to test his disappearing powder on. It turns out he missed her. Luckily, she only transferred to an elementary school across town. In Wicked Game she lost Carl in a bet to Polly Shuster, a girl who is obsessed with birds. For an entire weekend, Carl would have to dress up like a bird and play Parrot World with her. Blake took pictures of Carl actually enjoying this game with Polly and showed them to Noelle in About Face. The two don't speak until The Wedding Frame.

• Noelle Sussman also kissed Hoodsey in the episode Foutley's on Ice; they tried making Hoodsey more manly in order for him to pose as an adult for a competition that they were going to join. This caused great jealousy on Carl's part after he witnessed the kiss which was purely experimental.

• Linda (voiced by Olivia Hack and Hope Levy) is the school's hall monitor. As shown in Ginger the Juvey, she is on a first name basis with Courtney, who is the only student that she would probably let roam the halls without a hall pass.

• A foreign exchanged student, Jean-Pierre (voiced by Laraine Newman), could get any girl at Lucky Jr. High. In Stealing First, Courtney bets that she can get him to kiss Ginger on the chair lift on the school ski trip, to which Miranda says is impossible. In No Hope for Courtney, he takes interest in a newly made-over Hope. But in "TGIF," he and Hope are shown in a loving embrace.

• Laetitia Bowers (voiced by Cara Delizia) made her first appearance in New Girl in Town. She had a somewhat gothic appeal and she carried around a fake skull. Her dad is a mortician. Rumors started floating around that the reason they moved to Sheltered Shrubs was because Mr. Bowers accidentally embalmed someone who wasn't dead yet. Ginger, Dodie, and Macie try and help her find her place at school, but it turns out it's with them. In later episodes, she can be seen in the background.

• When Macie and Courtney entered a high school-level French class, Macie was volunteered to throw a pool party. Two girls in that class, Chantel (voiced by Kimberly Brooks) and Andrea (voiced by Jamie Maria Cronin) want to make a fool of their new classmate, Courtney.
