Family

Ex-wife, Rosa and one son, Ollie. David’s older brother, George, committed suicide when he was 20.

Background

David is a shy, thoughtful and withdrawn man who struggles with the social complexities of the world and always carries a multi-coloured bumbag around with him. Following a two year break from work, he is told he must return which proves difficult. But he’s a good and diligent nurse, who follows instructions well and goes about his job efficiently and quietly and is a great listener. He becomes good friends with nurse Robyn, who is determined to bring him out of his shell.

We later learn that David is divorced from his partner, Rosa and prior to their break up, he kidnapped their son, Ollie, which led to Rosa taking primary care of Ollie and cutting David off. David later admits to suffering from bipolar – and the reason he wears a bumbag is to ensure he takes his medication.

He battles with taking the medication as he feels like he loses his emotions whilst on them. Midway through Series 31 he suffers a manic episode when he comes of his pills and puts Robyn and her unborn baby’s life in jeopardy in the process.

In Series 32, David is one of the team that heads to France to help with the refugee crisis. David assists Dylan in bringing a young child, Sanosi back into the country. He also helps new F1 Rash gain more confidence. Another amusing episode finds David at the centre of some unwanted attention when strangers think he’s a perverted criminal after an uncanny photo fit appears in the local paper.

In Series 33, Charlie is struggling with Duffy’s dementia diagnosis and in one incident snaps at David, attacking him. Charlie accuses David of pushing him, resulting in his suspension. David also meets new porter Rosa.

In Series 34, David’s son returns to Holby and wants to live with him. In on episode, David rescues Oliver after he falls into a river. Oliver is keen for Rosa and David to get closer so is pleased when he offers her a place to live. Rosa opens up to David about her past and he agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend to her mother, as she is desperate for her to be happy again. When David meets her mother, she lies and says she hasn’t got long to live and wants Rosa to settle down. David decides to propose to her and despite the interference, the pair get married. David continues to struggle with his bi-polar and is concerned that Rosa doesn’t know the extent of his illness, but she shows her full support.
