Alan Simon (East Enders) - Craig Dixon

Craig Dixon arrived in Albert Square for an interview with Ian Beale, to work in Ian's chip shop. Ian employed Craig indifferently while busy cleaning up after his son, Bobby. Ian's daughter, Lucy, liked Craig and they started dating in secret.

On 3 August 2007, it was revealed that Craig had a gun in the glove compartment of his car. On 6 August, Lauren Branning invited him and Lucy to her house and they played truth or dare. Craig and Lucy left when they were interrupted by Lauren's sister, Abi. Craig later dared Lucy to shoplift from the Minute Mart. Craig also had a minor disagreement with Patrick Trueman when purchasing alcohol from the Minute Mart.

Ian found out about Lucy and Craig from Jane and Lauren at a party. Ian rushed to find Lucy and Max Branning offered to help. Ian and Max found Lucy and Craig in bed at Craig's flat. Craig was warned by Max whilst Lucy was told to button her top and get out. The next day after taking Lucy home, Ian reported the incident to the police and Craig was cautioned, much to Ian's annoyance. He visited Craig and gave him £300 to leave his daughter alone. Lucy and Craig later met in secret. Lucy took the cash and warned Craig that she would tell people about him if he didn't do what she wanted.

It was later revealed that it was Craig who attacked Patrick Trueman. A tape discovered by Kevin Wicks, showed him hitting Patrick over the head. Sean Slater, who had also disagreed with Patrick, was charged with the crime. On the same day, it was revealed that Craig and Lucy had got back together.

When Lucy played truant, she went to see Craig and got into his car, almost discovering his gun, but he stopped her by saying there was a wasp in her hair and quickly changing the subject.

On 6 September, Craig and Lucy ran away to a hotel. When Craig came out of the shower topless, he made it clear that he wanted to have sex but she threw her drink on him and locked herself in the bathroom. She rung Ian on her mobile but Ian, Jane and Peter had gone looking for her so they never got the call. She left a message but it was cut short when her battery ran out. She persuaded Craig to leave the hotel by saying they would steal money from Ian. Lucy ran to her father, pretending to cry, and told the police that Craig attacked Patrick. Craig was arrested for attempted murder and was not seen again, resulting in Sean's freedom. However, Craig hid his gun in Lucy's bag. Steven, Lucy's half-brother, later attempted to use the gun to shoot himself but instead wounded Jane.
