Donnie
Donnie's new to Walford, and he isn't here to make friends.
What's his story?
Donnie鈥檚 had to make it on his own, Mum gone, Dad inside, he鈥檚 spent a lot of his childhood in care. Donnie is a boy of few words, but don鈥檛 get on the wrong side of him, he鈥檚 got a temper.
Whatever happens, whatever I do, trust me.Donnie
All he wants is to get out of the system and look after his little sister, Riley. But when he meets Ava, something inside him changes; suddenly Riley isn鈥檛 the only one he wants to care for.
Relationship status:
I鈥檓 single. But that鈥檚 by choice. Girls ain鈥檛 really my focus right now. Well, none except my little sister.
Most likely to say:
I dunno. I don鈥檛 keep a record. So probably 鈥業 dunno,鈥� innit?
London view:
What they say is we鈥檙e all hoodies in East London 鈥� with violent tempers and dodgy walks. I try to stay away from that.
I like:
Music. I like old-school stuff. Tupac, Ice Cube and that. Grime and rap and football鈥檚 cool.
I don鈥檛 like:
I鈥檓 pretty much cool with anything. I don鈥檛 like books鈥� reading鈥檚 just boring, innit? Why read something when I can watch it on the TV or listen to it? I don鈥檛 like reality shows as well, a camera in your face all the time 鈥� allow dat.
When things go bad:
Depends innit. If I have to take control, I can keep my cool and handle it. But sometimes I blow my top. I鈥檝e been in some pretty tight situations, so I鈥檝e taught myself to be resourceful.
The world would be a better place if:
I got out of care. MY world would be a better place, anyway. The world鈥檚 a big place.
Where I see myself in 10 years:
I dunno鈥� alive? Baby-steps, innit. But that鈥檚 actually got me thinking鈥� what will I be doing when I鈥檓 27? Who knows.
