David Goodwin

David Goodwin was a psychiatrist who spoke with Newt after he was hospitalised in August 2008. Newt believed that he had killed Jack Osborne, and saw visions of his late friend Eli who told him to kill Jack's wife Frankie. David asked Newt about Jack's death, but Newt was vague. Newt began speaking to "Eli", who convinced Newt that David was trying to convince him that he was imagining things in bad faith. Newt panicked when "Eli" planned to harm Frankie, giving David an opportunity to leave and update Frankie: Newt was displaying symptoms of schizophrenia. David decided to detain Newt in the mental health ward, leaving Newt terrified as Frankie appeared afraid of him.
In October 2008, Ste Hay attended an anger management session run by David. Ste had been violent towards his girlfriend Amy Barnes throughout their relationship, and Amy refused to let Ste be apart of her pregnancy following their separation. Despite initially telling David that he was not going to talk, he ended up opening up fully before the first question was even asked. Amy ended up attending the next session, with David getting Amy to open up about Ste's anger towards her.
