DR LEGGS’ report on GILES GORDON (Michael Wesley Smith)

DR LEGGS’ report on GILES GORDON (Michael Wesley Smith)

Hello, I am Dr Leggs, the resident psychiatrist of Sunset Cove.Many intesting people come to see me about their problems (and you can sometimes see me in Atlantis High!). Each week I’m profiling different Sunset Covers – and this week is the geek boy of the moment, Giles Gordon.

Name:	Giles Gordon
Age:	16
Status:	New kid on the block, geekboy supreme.
Appearance:	Economy brand leisure wear and glasses.Giles wears totally unfashionable gear although he did try to smarten up his image with Rebelz coolwear.Didn’t work at all! Not cool.
Past History:	Giles lives with his Grandpa and his mother (who Grandpa calls Dennis). There is no father on the scene and no siblings. Probably a good thing really as Sunset Cove couldn’t handle any more geeks. The Gordon family moved to the area recently though Giles hasn’t told me where they moved from. I have my suspicions…
Motives:	Giles is desperate to fit in to his new surroundings and tries his best to make friends. He seems to fall in love easily and this might be because he is such a geek that he wants to know that somebody somewhere finds him attractive.
Influences:	Giles at first glance does not seem easily influenced by anyone. I mean have you seen his clothes? But look a little deeper and you’ll notice that Giles does do things to please Octavia and his new schoolmates.
Strengths:	Giles stands up for what he truly believes in and will support his new friends to the end. He is very tolerasnt of his new surroundings. But I would say his biggest strength is his inner child who keeps him under control and tells it like it is.
Weaknesses:	Giles is ruled by his heart and gets in to a lot of trouble over that. He is also a bad swimmer and not very good at sports in general. Does not like to sunbathe and has a weakness for bad clothes.
Catchphrases:	” Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?!” ; “Mum, why does Grandpa keep calling you Dennis?” ; “Octavia!”
Secrets:	Oohh, I am absolutely positive that there is a big dark secret in there and that we will find it out one of these days. I am not sure that Giles even knows it himself…or maybe he does and just will not face up to it.
Rumours:	There are whispers going around that Giles actually falls in love with Mr. Fluffy Muffin and that they will start to display their love/hate relationship soon.
