[edit] History

Ray arrived in Walford on 5 June 2006. He had tracked down his ex-lover Carla Mitchell, who had left him in Brazil to return to her husband Grant. Carla had been having an affair with Ray while she was married to Grant.

He followed Carla to Walford to reclaim £12,000 that Carla had stolen from him, but Carla slept with him, telling him that they could get back together. However, Ray told Carla that he still needed the £12,000 back. She went to Grant and told him she needed £25,000.

The next day, Grant and his brother Phil paid a visit to Ray, who told them that he needed the £12,000. When Grant found out that Carla had lied to him he was distraught, giving Ray the opportunity to run from his hotel room. Phil went after him, and while they were gone Grant smashed the room with a baseball bat. After smashing a chest of drawers, Grant found Ray's passport, giving a false name, Marco.

Ray was next seen being pulled from the boot of Phil's Jaguar by Grant outside The Queen Vic. Grant had realised that he was a criminal, and gave him a small amount of money and his passport, directing him to the tube station, telling him never to return. This was Ray's last appearance.
