Joel Goonan on Bullying
We caught up with Joel Goonan (Gaz) and Saira Choudhry (Anita) to ask the questions you sent in...
Why do you think Gaz is bullying Anita? Sean
I don't actually know! I don't think Gaz has actually got that many friends - he's got people who follow him, but he hasn't got many friends. He's quite disturbed really. I don't think it's necessarily to do with Anita being Asian or anything like that, I think it's just the fact that she's really vulnerable and Gaz knows he can take advantage of her at any time. It's nothing to do with her skin colour, its about Gaz seeing her as a really weak person. He knows he can bully her and she'll be too scared to do anything back to him.
Did you find it difficult playing an 'evil' character? If so, why? Charlotte, Newcastle
Not really. Well I wasn't like that in school or anything, I've never been a bully. But I've grown up in quite a rough part of Manchester so I've been surrounded by people like that since I've been in school. So it was quite easy to portray that type of character because I've been around those kind of people for years. I've sort of found myself mimicking people I used to know.
