An unnamed drug dealer met with Sienna Blake in the alleyway beside The Dog in the Pond in August 2023. Sienna purchased cocaine from the dealer to plant in Rafe Harcourt's car, to trick Rafe into thinking that his sister Dilly had suffered a relapse. A couple of days later, the drug dealer sold heroin to Donna-Marie Quinn, who had relapsed following the death of her daughter Juliet Nightingale. Donna-Marie had no money and the dealer threatened to cause damage to La Gymnastique, forcing Peri Lomax to pay up. The exchange was witnessed and recorded by Rayne Royce.
