Gareth (Daniel Husbands)

Gareth was a councillor who gambling addict Darren Osborne met with after being convinced to do so by ex-girlfriend Zoe Carpenter in December 2007. To get Darren to open up to him, Gareth told Darren that he was also a gambling addict who stole from his then-six-year-old daughter's bank account, and which point his wife left him. Five years on, he decided to become a counsellor. He then asked Darren about his troubles, telling Darren that he would always see someone as struggling more than him if he wanted to. Darren admitted that the buzz of beating the house that "always wins", which then became a compulsion. He then began making bets in his head about things that would happen, but started to grow tired of it.
