Gabriel Cretney
Description
About
Gabriel enjoys his job as a refuse collector; the job asks very little of him and the hours couldn't be more generous, giving him more time to spend with Sam and the kids. With his long term partner, he is also a foster carer. Gabriel understands that while they can't help everyone they can make a difference to a child's life even if it is just for a short period of time. He agrees with Samantha that the door will always be open for Charlie.

A part-time fire fighter, Samantha with her partner decided to foster when they heard of the number of children who just needed a place to stay. Having first looked after Charlie aged 6, she always made sure she had space for him even if it was when he was removing himself from his parents due to their latest high. She just wished there was more she could.
Found wandering on a roundabout aged six, Charlie has been in and out of foster care - mainly staying with the Cretney-Quayle family. He lived through such a constant cycle of crystal meth highs and periods of withdrawal with his parents that he was glad to be offered a place at Deveraux. He finds it very hard to make attachments, always knowing that at some point they will desert him and he will have to fend for himself. He has learnt to cover this by pretending he is people's mates even though he has no connection with them. Having just graduated, he is now living in Venice with his handler Stefan Müller.
