Rayif Osman was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Billy Hassan.
[edit] History
Rayif was the elder son of Mehmet and Guizin Osman. He was first seen on screen in February 1987. Rayif, his mother, sister Emine and brother Murat were all forced to move in with Mehmet's brother Ali and his wife Sue, after Mehmet gambled away their home and then disappeared.
Rayif and his siblings would fool around and get into trouble, often letting their pet boa constrictor (named Crush) loose to scare the residents of the Square. They also had a penchant for playing on arcade games and fruit machines and would occasionally sneak away to play on them against their mother's wishes.
The Osman children later became friendly with Luke and Sophie Willmott-Brown. They moved out of the Square in May that year when their father returned, but occasionally showed up on the Square to cause more trouble for their parents.
Rayif's last appearance was in March 1988, but after his parents had an argument, Rayif and the rest of his family moved to Cyprus in March 1989.
