A short history of Dylan
Back in 2007, good friends Sean and Violet made a pact that if they were both childless by the age of 30 they would have a baby together.
However in their drunk states they agreed to try immediately and not long later, Violet found out she was pregnant.
She gave birth in February 2008, however she wanted to raise her son, who she named Dylan, with her then-boyfriend Jamie.

A few months after Dylan’s birth, Jamie and Violet moved to London. Although Sean rushed to stop them, they got away and Violet cut contact with the father of her child.
A couple of years later, Sean pretended to be Eileen online to talk to Violet. Eventually Violet found out she had been talking to Sean and she eventually agreed to let him see his son.
Although Dylan hasn’t been seen on-screen since 2012, Sean often mentions his son and has visited him over the years.
