Barry Evans during his early years when he first came he was a completely different character and remember he was a bit of a player wide boy dodgy geezer and streetwise womanizer and successful business man. It was great and years later he had a personality transplant into a loveable buffoon bumbling clown and what year exactly he gradually changed was it 1997 or 1998 or 1999 which one remind me again. Plus it's funny how these loveable clown who are comic when they first came they used to be like a serious dodgy character and a bit of villian like Nigel (He was in his early years he was a harder dodgy dealer and sleazy womanizer and he did some dodgy business with Grant but wasn't a villain, Billy Mitchell, Minty, Garry, Terry, Stuart and Jim Branning. They became a successful comedy character just like they did to other characters in Emmerdale, Coronation street and Hollyoaks.
