Ty was a drug dealer and the ex-boyfriend of Clare. Ty would supply heroin to an addicted Clare, until she went into rehab in 1999. After she was discharged, Ty found her in Hollyoaks and ended up getting her hooked back onto heroin. She ended up dying from an overdose in April. After Clare's friend Lucy Benson began recovering from her heroin addiction, Ty came to her asking for help, but Lucy's friend Carol Groves sent him away. Lucy avenged Clare’s death by reporting Ty to the police, getting him arrested.
