He quickly made friends with Max Cunningham. The pair got into trouble together after downloading pornography from a porn site, and storing the files on a floppy disk. Darren lost the disk, but it was discovered and destroyed by their teacher, Dennis Richardson. In 1997, Darren and his family discovered that Jack had fathered Dawn Cunningham (the close friend of Darren's sister, Ruth)'s daughter, Beth, after Beth became ill and needed a kidney transplant. This resulted in Celia announcing that she wanted a divorce, and Darren decided to move to the United States with Celia in June 1997. 1999-2000: Return & Luke's Attack [ edit | edit source ] In September 1999, Celia sent Darren to live with Jack so Jack could keep a closer eye on him after he got into trouble whilst in the United States. Darren was not impressed by his step-siblings, Kate, Gina and Sol, a feeling also shared with Ruth. Darren and Sol often butted heads as a result. Darren ended up befriending Luke Morgan, and defended Luke when he started getting trouble from Mark Gibbs. Unknown to Darren, Luke was raped by Mark in March 2000. Luke became distant from Mandy, and Mandy ended up breaking up with Luke. Mandy decided to try make Luke jealous by getting with Darren, which Darren was more than happy to do as he tried to get Mandy to fall in love with him. Luke later revealed that he had been raped.

After trashing Ruth's flat, Darren was kicked out and he decided to return to America. 2003-2004: Return & Scott's "Death" [ edit | edit source ] Darren returned to the village in October 2003. Darren was left unimpressed by Norman Sankofa, whom Jack allowed to move in after developing a friendship with him following the death of his brother, Theo, a year prior. Darren also continued to misbehave, but blamed his behaviour on Jack betraying the family.
