Biography[]
2020-2021: Drug Dealing[]
Victor confronts Jordan.
In June 2020, Victor arrived in the village, confronting his dealer Jordan Price over a lack of sales by his kids in Hollyoaks. He warned Jordan, for the final time, that if sales did not pick up, then he would be replaced. Victor returned in September 2020 to confront Jordan over his cousin Sid Sumner not being accepted into a band, which would have allowed him to deal drugs to a wider audience. After attacking Jordan, Victor threatened Sid and his girlfriend Juliet Nightingale over ketamine that they needed to sell.
Juliet later approached Victor, demanding to be 'promoted' within his organisation. Victor told Juliet to reconcile with her family to make her look more respectable. After the arrest of a drug runner, Jordan had the idea of performing a robbery at Salon de Thé de Marnie, only to discover that owner Marnie Nightingale (and Juliet's step-mother) had not been accepting cash for purchases. However, Juliet ended up giving Victor one of Marnie's necklaces to pawn. After Jordan's arrest for drug dealing, Victor attempted to kidnap Juliet and Sid in an attempt to find the person who reported him to the police. After scaring the pair, Victor decided to replace Jordan with Juliet.
Noticing P.C. George Kiss question Charlie Dean but not Ella Richardson over drug dealing, and had Juliet recruit her. Juliet succeeded, but Victor was left frustrated as she began focusing more on her relationship with Peri Lomax. Victor also demanded that Jordan identified the person who reported him to the police, but Jordan lied to protect Sid.
Victor attacks Juliet.
After Sid was hit by a car whilst high on ketamine and had to have his leg amputated, Juliet realised that she wanted out of the dealing. Victor refused and became threatening, mugging Marnie. Juliet's half-brother James Nightingale attempted to pay Victor off, resulting in Victor only becoming more threatening. Victor caught Juliet attempting to record their conversation, Victor attacked her and later prepared to kill James, only stopping when realise that he would easily be identified as James's killer. He then ordered the deaths of Sid and Juliet, but the pair managed to escape, and Jordan was fatally stabbed by Ella on the stroke of midnight.
Fleeing from the village, Victor returned in January 2021 to confront Ella. With Juliet in prison after confessing to dealing drugs, Sid returned to working with Victor as he made a video diary in an attempt to get evidence to have Victor sent to prison. After being caught recording Victor, Victor stabbed Sid, who supposedly died from the wound. Sid's foster uncle Ste Hay forced Ollie Morgan to take over Sid's work. Victor was later arrested by D.S. Cohen for possession of an offensive weapon, with charges being added when Ste and Ollie submitted their evidence. After Victor was imprisoned, Sid returned to the village and revealed that he had been hiding from Victor.
2022: Return and Death[]
Victor shoots himself during a struggle.
In September 2022, Victor sent Sid a letter from Longmere Prison, claiming to have changed. He asked Sid to accompany him to his mother's funeral, which - after much deliberation - Sid agreed to. At the funeral, Victor worked with a 'guard' to escape, taking Sid hostage in the process. He forced Sid to sell drugs to fund his getaway, threatening to harm Juliet, but Sid's girlfriend caught him speaking with a dealer. Sid returned with a bag of newspapers so Victor attempted to shoot Sid and Juliet, only for Juliet to struggle over the gun with Victor. The gun went off and Victor took the bullet, suffering a fatal gunshot wound.
