Wayne started Grange Hill a bully and turned good by the
sixth form. Hot-headed and emotional, he had a jealous
streak and was susceptible to lashing out in moments of
rage. He lived on a run-down council estate with his extended
family and shared a room with his drug-dealing brother.
Staying on at school enabled Wayne to better himself and
avoid going down the route of his sibling; he's actually
a good bloke once you get to know him and his romance
with Judi showed his caring side.
