Sergey Korolyov
Played by: Oliver Watton
He is the son of Gennady Korolyov, the Russian mobster. He has just graduated from Oxford University, becoming a certified hydrologist.
Sergey is a very kind and well-behaved young man, with no violent inclinations whatsoever. That might seem surprising considering the fact that his father has been responsible for death and mutilation of quite a few people.
Sergey was mostly brought up by his mother, Helen Korolyov, who was British by birth. She fell in love with and married Gennady being convinced that he was a 100% legit businessman from Russia. Gennady, who adored his wife, was never particularly verbose about his job, so for a while she had no clue what he actually did for living. And yet with time she found out certain facts and, after some thinking, asked Gennady to … well, change his job. That he was reluctant to do, so the couple split, even though Gennady was otherwise a very good husband.
Helen went to great lengths to isolate Sergey from his father. However, when the boy was 14, she was diagnosed with cancer which claimed her life in a matter of months. And so, teenage Sergey, who didn’t even speak Russian, moved in with his father. It didn’t take him long to understand that his dad was not an ordinary entrepreneur.
Gennady had missed his son terribly all those years, but it soon became obvious that the gap between them could not be bridged. Gennady was a cunning and merciless criminal, while Sergey was naive, soft and interested mostly in his books.
They both felt relieved when the boy moved to Oxford to study, though they remained in touch, because, all things considered, Sergey grew to love his father.
However, now that the studies are over, the time has come for Sergey to become a real man and take his rightful place at his father’s side. In short, Gennady wishes to turn his son into a gangster. He has already got a plan of how to achieve that!
Very interesting topic criminal! I wonder what will happen to Sergei. Actually this is my favorite character. I don’t see the rule: like father, like son. What would become of him if he had not raised by his mother?
Joe, it’s actually my favorite character too! I think there’s a long way for Sergey to become a real gangster. To be honest, I think it won’t ever happen :D He’s just too girl-like to me and soft :D I just wonder what the relation between him and Olive is going to be like. Will she teach him how to be a bad boy? What do you think?
vm,.
Joe, actually it’s my favourite character too! I’d like to see Sergey becoming a real gangster. But to be honest, I don’t think it’ll ever happen :D He’s just too girl-like, to soft to be a gangster! I just wonder what the relation between Olive and Sergey is going to be like. Will she teach him how to become a bad boy? What do you think? :P
I’m sure that Sergey will not a gangster like his dad. Even Olive will not be able to change his behavior. I think that Sergey doesn’t change his behavior. For me personally, it is a boring character, very predictable. I believe that sooner Sergey teach Olive being a better person. And you, what do you think about him? You like
him?
It seems possible to turning from hydreologist to a gangster. His father is too tuff to olet him do whatever he wants, and it’s probably his dream that Setgey will inherit his legacy.
We can be very surprise, because the way he looks does not equal his character.
What about Olive and Sergey… I think that she will help him in bad bad trouble;)
Maybe she help him, but how will this target. Sergei is very naive its easy to trust him
I think that because of his naivety and trust his father would be able to realize his plan about doing him a gangster. But I’m not sure if it would be a true change. Maybe the boy will dicover, that he can do more in his live and decide about himself… It’s very important for such a character like his father… But because of this Sergey may also rebel against father. Don’t you think?
oooooh, maybe Olive will help him with runaway from his father’s plan about Sergey?? We will find out it very soon, I really can’t wait!
I think that Sergey and Olive will have a romance (I hope so)
You really think so? Sergey is cute, but he seems so young! Too young for Olive! it seems to me that she rather takes care of him than has a romance with him…
I dont like this kind
of character. Dont know why. He’s nice and seems to be inteligent. Andzie’s
right, he’s a naive person. I cant trust him. He tries to be a good man however
I’m afraid he can end like his father, behind bars
Oh, I’m not really sure about these two falling in love with each other. It’s rather Olive and Dave who’ll have love affair, don’t you think? And Sergey… he just seems so young and so lost, I think he needs a tutor!
In the secend picture he looks like a little scared boy! Thats very funny ;D i thing Olive will just help him, but he’s falling in love with her. AlkA i agree withe you! but this charakter can
by very funny ;D
you’re right, it looks very funny. He looks How helpless child who needs help and a hug. Olivia certainly help him.
Well, if so many people think that Olive will help Sergey without falling in love with him that must be true:)
I think it’s funny, because he is half russian and he has more russian name that his 100% russian father:D
Haha, Rasputin, you’re right with his name ;)
He looks really scared and helpless… I’m a little sory of him and about what his father want to do… But only a little, he needs it :P
Katarina I don’t think he’ll be funny, to me it seems that he’ll be helpless and ineffectual. I’m curious what is his plan to avoid being a gangster!
Rasputin, good point about his name, I like it! :D And Leila – yeah, he really needs to know some real life, becoming a gangster would be a great lesson to him! But although he looks like a nice and good boy, I feel that deep inside he also has some Russian blood and he’ll surprise us!
You’re right, he looks like a nice and good boy who is naive. It does not surprise us like a risk because it is too weak mentally.
Uuuu, Sergey surprised me :D I was thinking he will be a courageous, strong person, great son to his father, ready to take the bussines. And what I see? Girly boy, interested in books! :D That’s not fit to Gennady’s style!
Radek, so? Do you agree with his fathers idea? It’s not Gannady’s style, that’s sure… But maybe it could also be like this. Maybe he don’t have to be like his father…
Yes, he doesn;t have to be like his father. But it is normal that strong and powerful man like Gennady would like his son to be as strong and powerful as himself. But life is a little bit complicated than that:)
Minog, I think that Sergey is too sensitive and innocent to be like his father, he has completely different type of character and being a gangster is something, that you can’t just learn – you like to be against the law or not
LadyGaga your right! This is another type of character!
Maybe he is like his mother. We don’t know… It can be something interesting between Olive and Sergey. He is so cute and she can falling in love with him. They are completely another person. And opposites attract :D:D
Opposites attract but love is chemistry not a physics:)
I don’t think that anything will happen between him and Olive, sorry
I think you are right Minog. There is no “sparkle” beetwen them. He’s really cute and he can fit into her world. But I just believe that David and Olive are meant to be with each other :) By the way I don’t really understand Gennady. Why he has to pull in his only son into this cruel buisness. I mean he may be a part of it but Sergey doesn’t have to. But what do you think?
