Chesney Karib (born 1992), played by (Qasim Akhtar), is Yvonne (Kelli Hollis) and Kash Karib's (Chris Bisson) son and younger child. He was briefly the Young Mayor of Chatsworth and love interest of Debbie Gallagher (Rebecca Ryan), until he admits to using her and not having the slightest interest in her or her intentions in trying to make the town a better place. However, Chesney was using the campaign funds to help an elderly Pakistani woman to take her British Citizenship Test, thus earning Debbie's respect (despite thinking his reasoning for doing so was silly but still admires that he helped someone and didn't ask for anything in return). Chesney is a smart but moody teenager who quietly resents his mother's bossy and abrupt demeanour.
