Back in 2019 it was planned for Gary to turn into the next major villain and as such he ended up being responsible for the Underworld roof collapse that killed Rana. Then he killed Rick Neelan, schemed to takeover Underworld, had rivalries with Adam over Sarah and Ali over Maria, and beat up Ryan. Finally, at the end of the year, Gary's treatment of Derek Milligan (his partner in the attempted Underworld takeover) led to Derek coming after him with a gun. Derek accidentally killed Robert, with Shona later getting shot in the crossfire when Gary and Derek struggled for the gun.
And then, not long afterwards, plans changed for whatever reason (COVID perhaps?) and Gary went back to being what he was for most of the 2010s, a good guy, albeit very troubled. That being said, the specter of Rick's murder would pop up from time to time such as when Rick's daughter Kelly learned the truth in 2022. She eventually stayed quiet after a disastrous attempt to have Gary killed via a hitman.
Frankly I'm surprised Gary and Maria managed to stay married for six years, I never bought them as a long-term couple, especially as the show has always telegraphed Gary and Sarah as star-crossed lovers even when they're with other people.
