Adrian (Darren Tighe)

Adrian was the step-father of Tommy Bradshaw, who Cleo McQueen treated for a broken wrist. Adrian told Cleo that Tommy's injury had been sustained by him falling down the stairs, but Adrian's interruptions and Tommy's nervousness left Cleo suspicious. Catching Tommy on his own, Cleo almost learned of the true circumstances until Adrian interrupted and took Tommy home. Cleo quickly found the pair and told a furious Adrian that the doctors wanted to keep Tommy overnight to monitor his head injury.
The next day, Cleo was told by Tommy exactly what had happened. However, Tommy refused to tell anything to the police and Adrian was not arrested. Cleo later confronted Adrian in the park with her boyfriend, Toby Faroe, and threatened him to stay away from Tommy. When Adrian refused, Toby attacked Adrian and beat him unconscious. The fear of Toby's attack lead to Adrian making a full confession to D.S. Cohen about his abuse of Tommy.
