Without a doubt the script writers of this show are racist with a capital R. Same with Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and a few others.
I partially agree with you about the character Gus. However its not so much that there is such a character, as I'm sure there are plenty of Gus's that exist, its the fact that Eastenders will ONLY ever find roles which are either demeaning, dead-end, Coonish, sellout, Stereotypical etc etc etc.
In fact the Gus scenario brings back memories. I bought my first buy to let property when i was 19 and made the mistake of renting it out to an Irish bwoy who i played football with. Now to say this guy was "as hard as nails" would be an understatement. Still after a few months of renting the place out to him he turned round and blatantly told me he was not going to pay the rent any longer and would move out when he was ready. I was fuming but thought well what can i do, because the truth was i was scared shitless of him, he was a bad bwoy. Anyway me and mate tooled up one night and left to deal with him, but when we reached the house we just both said "Nah" made umpteen excuses and bottled it....lol.
The bottom line was i could have got my people involved, but this Irishman had the psyche over me so much i feared the repercussions. So i just waited until he moved out like a pussy.
So it can happen especially at that age when you've yet to develop a fear of no-one. And there are definitely some bad ass white bwoys out there. Still the good thing is i learned something which has kept me in good stead ever since.
Never EVER rent your property to a tenant who looks harder than you...lol
