Taz (Keaton Lansley)

Taz was a drug dealer who Charlie Dean bought marijuana from in February 2023. After an argument with his aunt and uncle, Charlie arranged to meet with Taz outside of La Gymnastique. Ella Richardson approached Charlie at the same time, witnessing the exchange. Taz calmed a stress Charlie before giving him weed, to Ella's fury. He told Charlie that next time he would charge more and left. In March 2023, he sold more weed to Charlie, this time at the gates of Hollyoaks High School.
In May 2023, Taz confronted Charlie over his debts, demanding they be settled before he could buy anything more from him. Charlie had no money to pay up, so Taz forced him to miss his French exam and burgle the Hollyoaks Wreck for their game consoles so Taz could sell them. However, after his uncle Darren caught on, Charlie was forced to return the consoles whilst Darren paid his debt. After being embarrassingly ejected from the youth club launch by co-owner Felix Westwood, Taz and his associates attacked his son DeMarcus Westwood.
Taz met with Charlie and Charlie's friend, Dillon Ray, in June 2023 to sell them weed, although the meeting went awry when D.I. Anderson witnessed the dealing and arrested Charlie, who earned himself a caution. Taz angrily confronted Charlie and Dillon the next day and blamed Dillon for grassing him up, until Charlie revealed that it was Darren who had made the call to the police. Taz intended to turn his back on Charlie until Dillon came up with a plan for Charlie to prove his loyalty to his dealer by trashing 17 Basswood Road. Both Charlie and Dillon trashed the house, but their actions didn't come without consequence as Jack Osborne interrupted their deed and was injured by Charlie as he made his escape. Charlie was cleared of any blame though, as Darren suspected Taz was behind the break-in.
