Dylan James Wilson is the son of Violet Wilson (Jenny Platt) and Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) and first appeared on 22 February 2008, having been delivered by Sean and his partner Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou) in the Rovers, as it was too late to go to the hospital.

He was due to be born four weeks later and Violet and her boyfriend Jamie Baldwin (Rupert Hill) intended for him to be born in London after they planned to leave Weatherfield because of Sean's involvement. When he was born in the Rovers, Sean bonded with his son, and said that when he was born, he looked straight at him and was lost for words at the fact he was the first person his son saw. Jamie also bonded with Dylan, although found it hard because Sean was his biological father and present at the birth.

Dylan was named by his mother and Jamie. They wanted a name that would go with Wilson and Baldwin. His middle name is "James" after Jamie. Sean suggested changing his last name to "Wilson-Tully" and asked if they would name him as Dylan's father on his birth certificate but Violet and Jamie refused. Dylan left the street on 29 February with his mother, Violet, and Jamie. Violet and Jamie decide to record Jamie as Dylan's father on the birth certificate instead of Sean in order for Jamie to be his legal father, and for their fresh start in London to be easier.

In April 2011, Sean goes to London to visit Dylan and he and Marcus, who is also living in London, take him out for the day and visit the famous sights in the city. When they return Dylan home, they discover Violet and Jamie have split up and Sean offers to take Dylan to Weatherfield for a while in order for Violet and Jamie to patch things up but Violet refuses and makes an offensive remark about Sean's sexuality and he leaves, saddened. In June 2011, Sean is informed that Violet has been injured in a car crash and is in hospital. Dylan comes to stay with Sean in Weatherfield until she recovers. Sean and Marcus take turns in looking after Dylan and Marcus enters Dylan in a competition at Freshco's supermarket for a child model to pose in an advert. Marcus is chosen to be Dylan's "father" in the advert as he is told he is more photogenic than Sean. Sean becomes jealous of Marcus and he turns the offer down as a result. In September, Dylan returns home to his mother in London after Violet has recovered. Dylan returns briefly in April to stay with Sean and Marcus.

Dylan returned briefly on Christmas Eve 2012, to spend Christmas with Sean. He left on 28 December.

Famous quotes containing the word wilson:

    The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
