[edit] History
Gidea first arrived in Walford in May 1993 when she came from Trinidad to visit her grandfather, Jules Tavernier. Gidea's mother was the result of an affair Jules had in his early 20s and Jules had previously been unaware of her existence. Jules was apprehensive about pursuing a relationship with Gidea at first and Gidea's arrival upset the 'status quo' in the Tavernier family, so Gidea decided to leave Walford the same month.
However, her cousin Clyde Tavernier had already grown close to Gidea, so he set about searching London to track her down. The following month he managed to find her, and after much persuading, Gidea decided to return to Walford so she could get to know her family.
Over the following month, Gidea and Clyde began to grow a lot closer, and even though they were half-cousins, they embarked on a relationship. Jules was opposed to their relationship and tried to put a stop to it, but Gidea and Clyde ignored his protests and they eventually decided to leave Walford for a new life together in Trinidad with Clyde's son Kofi. They left in July 1993.
