Orlando Gunn was the school bully and son of Trish Gunn (Sheryl Stewart). Trish paid Orlando to pretend to be interested in a career in the army so as to lure Scotty (Kiel McNaughton) into using her as her realtor. Orlando returned in 2009 when he was named head boy of Ferndale high opposite Sophie McKay (Kimberley Crossman) as head girl. Orlando started to host parties in his mother's open homes and became friends with Daniel Potts (Ido Drent). However when the boys took a man hostage in his home, Orlando passed all the blame onto Daniel and the two became enemies. He realised Daniel had a crush on Sophie and so began to date her however when Sophie realised Orlando was claiming they had regular sex and broke up with him. Orlando was later kicked out of his role as headboy.
