Stefan Dennis As Paul Robinson
Paul Robinson has made and lost a fortune several times over. Intelligent and manipulative, he is a shrewd judge of character, finely tuned to an individual’s weaknesses and motivations. Possibly the most self aware of all the characters, he spends a lot of time observing others. In business, he is ruthless and his manner can swing from charming to vicious in the blink of an eye. Paul takes just as many risks in his personal life.
It’s a mess because his love of money and power, coupled with the need for control, ultimately drives his family members away. He is fiercely protective of his loved ones however, and if you cross them you’d better watch your back.
Paul maintains a defiant belief that power generated from wealth and status can compensate for all pain – despite the fact experience has proved otherwise. He loves women. He can be very romantic but true intimacy makes him uneasy. While he craves to love and be loved, he fears the power that person holds over him… Subsequently he risks it, to test it, so that he can then shore himself up against it.
Paul would claim he is still on the street because of his various local business concerns. In fact, it’s more because, in the absence of his beloved grandmother Helen, the street itself is the closest thing Paul has to a moral compass. It may infuriate and antagonize him but he knows deep within himself that it’s the one thing stopping him from going completely over the edge one day.
The more vulnerable Paul feels the more dogged, cruel and unsentimental his drive becomes. He wants to be untouchable but he knows he is not. He needs to be loved but at the same time, fears he is un-loveable.
