Introduction
Tinhead made his first appearance in Brookside as a school bully at Brookside Comprehensive in 1996. Danny Simpson was Tinhead's main target, as he tried to bully him into helping him with his schoolwork. Tinhead was the leader of a gang of boys who continued to terrorise other pupils despite protests made to the head teacher by their parents.
One day Danny gave Tinhead some schoolwork knowing that he was going to take the credit for it, but Danny deliberately made the project complete nonsense so Tinhead was made to look a fool in front of his classmates. Tinhead decided to teach Danny a lesson, so after school he chased Danny and his mate Leo intending to give Danny a good beating, but when he escaped it was Leo who was left battered and bruised.
Leo tried later to become part of Tinhead's gang by helping him steal a computer from the Simpsons' house on Brookside Close.
Mick Johnson, Leo's dad tried to get Tinhead expelled from school for bullying but came across an unexpected problem when he discovered that Tinhead's mother Carmel O'Leary was one of the school governors. Carmel refused to believe that her son was the ring leader of the gang of bullies.
