Bob Barnett - Revhead

Morris Henry "Revhead" Gibson, played by Gavin Harrison debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 16 August 1988. Harrison has played the character during three separate stints. To secure the role of Revhead, Harrison was required to look "rough" and did not shave for six months.

The actor explained to Lisa Anthony from BIG! that it took him six weeks to grow stubble, so he had to refrain from shaving for the six month period. He did not like having facial hair for the role and he eventually "got fed up with it". Harrison was unsure as to why he was selected to play Revhead, he added "I really don't know why BIG!, I really don't". But he did enjoy playing the role because it was different to his own persona. Harrison told Kesta Desmond and David Nicholls for their book Home and Away Annual that the worst thing about the serial was his character's nickname "Revhead". He described the character as a "trouble maker and a lout". Harrison revealed that it was not until the third time he returned to play Revhead, that he understood why he acts the way he does. Revhead's behaviour was caused by "a big tragic event" that happened to his family two years before his arrival. Harrison said that Revhead's father, Alec (David Baldwyn) used to give him plenty of attention, then mother died in an accident and his sister, Julie (Naomi Watts) was left "crippled". His father's attention was diverted to caring for Julie. He added that Revhead "was actually a really nice guy, but he's made up this big facade". Harrison told John Kercher in the Home and Away Annual that he "loved playing a real baddy".

Tom Etherington from TV Week said that Revhead was the serial's "biggest troublemaker" during 1991. The character "didn't do anything by the book, so his head nearly exploded" when he discovers that his sister Julie is having a relationship with police officer Nick Parrish (Bruce Roberts). Etherington added that Revhead "tried his best" to separate the pair "without much luck". BIG!'s Anthony said that Revhead's behaviour consisted of "moods, trantrums, scheming, or his ability to get friends into trouble". She added that "clean-cut, tanned and relaxed, Gavin is so different from the rebellious Revhead, who has the police after him, that you wonder why he was chosen for the part."

Revhead begins a relationship with Karen Dean (Belinda Jarrett) and they commit a robbery at Alf Stewart's (Ray Meagher) grocery store. In the scenes Revhead is forced to bash Alf over the head and steals money from the till. In the build up to his exit storyline Revhead and Karen crash their car into David Croft (Guy Pearce) and he is killed. In his book Super Aussie Soap, Andrew Mercado said that Revhead actually "felt bad" about what he had done because the cause of Julie's physical disability.

Revhead is first seen when he and his friends hassle Steven Matheson (Adam Willits) and Narelle Smart (Amanda Newman-Phillips) on their date at a drive-in in Yabbie Creek. Steven is able to fight them off. Revhead then returns with his friends and begins hassling Roo Stewart (Justine Clarke), Bobby Simpson (Nicolle Dickson) and Carly Morris (Sharyn Hodgson). The girls are outnumbered four to three until Adam Cameron (Mat Stevenson) arrives and steals Revhead's car in order to distract him and his gang. Revhead and his friend Skid (Chris Harding) take revenge on Adam by trashing his Yacht. Revhead is then involved in a minor crash when Emma Jackson (Dannii Minogue) and Viv Newton (Mouche Phillips) bump into his new car. Revhead demands payment and threatens to inform Alf of the girls' driving his Range Rover if they do not pay up. Bobby then devises a plan to stall Revhead and Skid at the diner and has Lance Smart (Peter Vroom) and Martin Dibble (Craig Thomson) fix the dent in the car in secret. The plan is successful and the girls avoid payment, much to the irritation of Revhead and Skid.

Revhead reappears eighteen months later after learning of Julie's relationship with police officer Nick and tries to split them up. He then becomes involved with Ksren and leads her off the rails by encouraging her to skip school and smoke dope with him. Revhead then arranges a robbery on Alf's store, which goes awry when Alf is injured in the process. With the police looking for him, Revhead tells Karen to steal the car belonging to her brother Blake (Les Hill) and Haydn Ross (Andrew Hill) and meet him on Yabbie Creek road in order to flee town. The plan backfires when Karen crashes the car, killing David and Revhead is eventually jailed for his crimes.
