I can't quite remember the storyline Robinia, he was very cute, wasn't he orphaned or something and a main character watched over him? He was in it for a while, all a bit of a fog.
Well it was 20 years ago(!) so I had to find a reminder...I remember now, he turned into a very troubled soul (don't they all on Eastenders?) after being led astray by the awful Mandy.

I always remember in EastEnders when Pauline was laying down the law when he was living at her house she said " I am not your mother and the amount the council is paying me is not enough to turn me into your mother!"
