As Callum's only associates/friends seem to be Macca and Gemma, I wonder if he's one of those people who only likes horrible looking people around them because it makes them look better.

I can't think of any other reason for him to spend so much time with them - he doesn't seem to like the scuzzy pair very much.

As well as being better looking than Macca and Gemma Cal has better social skils and is smarter than them - something to do with his teacher mother maybe - so he can treat them like dirt and they put up with it.

It would be more natural if Callum's henchmen were strong, muscular blokes about his own age (and height) but I don't think his ego could cope with the competition. He behaves towards Mac and Gem like a really awful dog owner does to their dog. I wouldn't be surprised if he threw the leftovers from his plate on the floor for them to scrap over.

Macca and Gemma are like Igor to Callum's Count Dracula (or is it Baron Frankenstein? )

The bit's in bold made me laugh way too hard. I actually agree with you though, Iv'e always thought it was strange how he hangs about with them. They seem nothing alike. They're the chavy sort he would sell the drugs to not be friends with.... And yeah from what we've seen he treats them like crap and seems to really dislike them. Very strange.

They should have given the actor a different role if they wanted him on the show. He would have been more convincing as the new Ryan Connor lol

Never believed that he's a drug dealer who hangs around an estate with those twits and is obsessed with Kylie Platt. He's an unconvincing villian. Probably as unconvincing as 'Kane' the gang leader who was on EE.

His backup do not need to be the same height as him but could be taller or shorter then him but weight 16 stone plus of solid muscle or just age for matter.

In fact they dont even have to be big guys,just general nutters.

He probably did in the warehouse.
