Good Vidieo Mate! I Havent Watched EastEnders Since 2005 Of All Of The Characters That Had Bin On It The Wost Person Was Trevor Morgan (The Worst Person In Soap History) Then Graum Foster Second Then Nick Coorton 3rd Nick Coorton Was The Most Common And Ruth Of All Of Them Then The Mitchell Brothers Second Of The Mitchell Brothers Phil Was The Tuthest Of The But Grant Was By The Most Expensive Of The 2
I don't watch it anymore either, but the best baddy/gangster episode ever was the Christmas special, with Dereck Branning, when he goes absolutely berserk, tormenting his own brothers amongst other people and ends up giving himself a mass heart attack. Best EastEnders baddy ever. Played by Jamie Foreman, whose father is Freddie Foreman, who was very very close to the Kray Brothers, and I believe that this gave Jamie a unique and brilliant insight into the character, and he's also been in many British gangster films.
Ahr yes, I wasn't watching it at that point, but I always thought Jamie Foreman was a brilliant choice for the role, with his background especially... Might have to go back and check some of his episodes!
Gripper, easy no 1, because of the length he was in it and because we actually saw the bullying/violence/racism/intimidation, it wasn't just largely hinted at and only occasionally seen. Also once he left, society was changing and no other bully, was seen as a racist. Sean Pearce, although after my time, having seen his episodes, he definitely is up there as the most, sinister, dark bully. Willing to actually really harm someone and not just give them a black eye.
😂 Yup, he does that all the time, he's had quite a few solo albums that never got released... For various reasons, the titles are as follows - First Love, Looking back with Love and the amazing Mike Love, Not War...
To be fair, with regard to Hey Little Tomby, pop music has a long history of creepy songs like that, going back to the 60s on through the 80s and beyond. Very predatory.

The one thing they never went into, in the earlier days of Grange Hill, was the home lives of these bullies. It might have given an insight as to why they behaved the way they did at school. If their Father, for example, was over-bearing or controlling in some way, thus explaining why they felt the need to, 'kick down', to make themselves feel better about themselves when not at home.
I'm a really big Monkees fan...I have all their albums, 45 picture sleeves & alot of the original toys...I like the Hasbro & Remco toy figures in my toy case...I've met all 4 Monkees here in Houston...got autographs & pics with them
