Character Profiles

Chesney

Saturday 21 November 2009

The younger child of Yvonne and Kash Karib, Chesney has a big heart and fits right in with the rest of the Chatsworth rabble.

Best friend to Carl, brother to Meena, and a one-time love interest of Debbie Gallagher (before she realised his true intentions), the occasionally gobby teenager is bright, smart and knows his own mind.

Discovering his father's faked death and hidden homosexuality brought out Chesneys temper. After beating his dad and leaving him for dead in a fire in the 'Kash and Carry' Chesney discovered another side to himself.

He got into hot water when an assault on a girl at his house party was recorded and discovered by the victim's brother, who then murdered the attacker. He did the right thing in the end and anonymously released the identity of the killer, but not before taking a little jaunt to the countryside with Carl to hide.

Every teenage boy's fantasy becomes reality for Chesney when he's introduced to a married housewife who pops his cherry, but he soon discovers that love isn't always straightforward as he slowly unravels the truth about her intentions.

Chesney's sexuality is something of a question mark, especially when he enjoys becoming involved in a gay phone sex service with Micky Maguire, but his love for Bex remains fairly steady.

More recently, we've seen him taking up the reins of running the Kash and Carry, under the watchful eye of his cousin Sita.
