History

Gavin was first seen in Walford in August 2003 when he moved into 89b George street, which was the flat above Shirley Benson's. He worked in the Walford video shop.

As soon as he moved in, Gavin started causing problems for Shirley, by playing his music extremely loudly at all hours of the day and night. After a while, Shirley pleaded with him to stop being so inconsiderate, but this only made him play his music louder. Eventually, Shirley reported him to the landlord, and then to environmental health. After Gavin was visited from a council representative, he vowed to make Shirley's life a misery. Days later, Shirley's cat, Boots, went missing, and she feared that Gavin may have been responsible. After several weeks, the cat was found dead in a plastic bin bag on Shirley's doorstep. A distraught Shirley turned to her friends, the Ferreiras, for help, but Gavin claimed that he found the cat dead in the road and returned it to Shirley as an act of kindness. Shirley was not convinced.

Gavin continued to make Shirley's life hell by putting her telephone number on a call-girl card and posting them around Walford. He later broke into her flat and tipped rubbish all over her floor. Ash Ferreira decided to step in and play him at his own game. He borrowed his brother's speakers and played dance music extremely loudly, which maddened Gavin and he reported them to the landlord. Shirley and Ash were ready for this, and upon the landlord's visit, they played classical music and pretended they were involved in a book club. This satisfied the landlord and left Gavin looking like a fool. Obviously, this didn't please Gavin and he threatened both Shirley and Ash, and made regular racist comments whenever any of the Ferreiras were around. A few days later, Ash overheard an altercation between Gavin and the road sweeper Gus Smith. Gavin was unhappy about the uncleanliness of the Square, particularly as it could attract rats. Sensing Gavin's fear of rats, Ash purchased one from a pet store, and with the help of Tariq Larousi, he broke into Gavin's flat and set the rat free. The plan worked and Gavin was petrified. He promised to call a truce with Shirley if they removed the rat.

However, Gavin decided to perform one last malicious act as payback. He sabotaged the Ferreiras clothing stock with paint. When the Ferreiras attempted to reclaim for the damages on their insurance, they were furious to learn that Adi had forgotten to renew it.

Gavin's last appearance was in October 2003.
