hes only been in the show a year i though he was going to be a mainstay for a few years they haven't explored his character nearly enough yet a feud with phil could have been great,hate it when eastenders do this its far to early to kill him off

Villains do tend to have such a short shelf life.

Glad he's going, best news I'v had all day. I have really tried, but he has to be one of the worst baddies EVER:sleep:
I mean what did he even do?
He's been eating up every episode and all the screen time for the past year, you think he would have made some sort of impact, but he hasn't, THATS SOME ACHIEVEMENT:sleep:

Sadly, I don't think the character has worked. It's not the fault of the actor, the character just hasn't been fully thought out. Soap villains are all well and good, but they need to have sufficient emotional depth to make them convincing as characters first and foremost before anyone can buy into their own unique brand of villainy.

The problem was that the way they brought him in was so unconvincing it just didn't work.Pat being scared of him, the fact he beat up someone twice his size and that even Phil was unable to put him in his place.

Then they retcon his whole past and give him children he just could not have fathered.

It's hasn't been confirmed by any credible source, so stop creating all these pointless threads!
