Willow and Dean’s day in court is fast approaching – but Dean (Patrick O’Connor) is in a downward spiral.
Much to the concern of Willow (Sarah Roberts), who is doing all she can to turn her life around, Dean is not coping in the lead-up to their hearing over the Surf Club break-in and assault.
“Dean’s feeling extremely nervous,” says Patrick. “He’s been in jail before, so he’s scared and self-sabotaging because it’s so overwhelming. He also feels he doesn’t have anyone he can talk to about it. While he’s trying to play the cool boy who doesn’t care, he’s constantly trying to somehow distract himself.”
When Willow finds Dean drunk on the beach, she tries to convince him to head back to the Diner with her for a coffee to sober up, but he walks off. Willow has had enough of Dean’s antics.
When he doesn’t want her help, she pushes him off the pier!
Will Dean be OK?
