Daryl was an electrician who Sinead O'Connor flirted with to make Tony Hutchinson jealous in July 2014. Sinead lied about herself to seem like she and Daryl had a lot in common, which Daryl fell for. The next time they met, Sinead brought him back to 3 Oakdale Drive, Flat 4 and seduced him. Tony walked in on Daryl with Sinead, with Sinead lying that they slept together, to which Tony exploded and threw Daryl out.
The pair later went on a date together in August 2014, but Sinead was left disgusted by Daryl's eating habits and refused to see him again. In November 2014, Daryl was invited to Tony and Diane O'Connor's wedding. He was horrified to learn that Tony and Diane believed that he was the father of Sinead's unborn child. He revealed that he never actually slept with Sinead and left.
