Sorry guys, I'm not really a know-it-all when it comes to soaps, can someone clear this up for me?

Yes, he played Sonny on HO, but was sacked for bad timekeeping. Unluckily for him, of course, Bryan Kirkwood (exec producer of HO) is now at EastEnders, but I presume it's water under the bridge for them. I prefer him in EE actually.

He was in EE first, years ago, playing the same character. Back then his name was spelt with a y. He was in it from 1993-1997.

He played Calvin's brother? They look so different. Calvin: body of steel, Billie: body of pies.

He was thinner when he was playing Calvin's brother.

Ah, so he "bulked" up for the role of Billie.

Or maybe he was comfort eating while he was unemployed and there wasn't enough time for him to lose the weight between getting the call from Santer and starting filming again for EE

Sonny was much nastier than Billy, Sonny was a bully but it seems Billy is more accepting of other people.

The actor comes from the 'ridiculously exaggerated facial expressions to show emotion' school of acting.

He was terrible in HO, and he seems just as bad (i.e. he's playing the same character with different lines) in EE.
