Seamus Whitman

Seamus was born the eldest child of Arthur and Dawn. He grew up in the Willow Creek pub and worked there often. Seamus fell for Chelsea Browning and the two married. His sister, Kathleen married Rico Delaney. Later on, it was revealed that Rico was having an affair with Dawn. The whole family were outraged, especially when Dawn insisted on keeping ownership of the pub. Seamus, his siblings and Arthur left the pub and moved away, leaving Dawn alone. Seamus felt a degree of guilt for his mother and secretly reached out to her repeatedly. He was shocked to learn that Dawn had given birth to Rico's baby, Denise. Eventually, Seamus found love in an older woman Chelsea Browning. He moved into her family house at Willow Creek and married her. She gave birth to Seamus' son Ruairidh Whitman. Seamus maintained something of a relationship with Dawn, who also lived in Willow Creek. He got a job as a barista and made a decent living. He also befriended Chelsea's cousin Jimmy and wife Alisha. When Chelsea became older and ill, Seamus broke down and almost had an affair with Alisha, but stopped himself. Eventually, Chelsea died of old age and Seamus had a mid-life crisis.
