Biography[]
2019 to present: Conception, birth and early life[]
Harry was not conceived under the happiest circumstances as he was the result of his father Lee brutally raping Victoria on a night out in April 2019. Despite this, Victoria decided to keep the baby but feared he would grow up and be like his father. However, after holding her newborn son for the first time, Victoria fell in love with him.
After Harry's birth, his grandmother Wendy Posner was desperate to meet him although Victoria was apprehensive due to her refusal to see Lee for the man he was and insistence that Victoria was lying. In February 2020, Victoria grew close to Harry's uncle Luke Posner and started letting him babysit Harry, much to Wendy's delight. She eventually even let Wendy look after Harry and the four of them grew quite close. On 23rd March 2020, Harry was christened in a joint ceremony with Eve Dingle and Theo Metcalfe. Later that year, Victoria started seeing Harry’s uncle, Luke Posner. This allowed Harry to become close to his father’s family.
In 2021, Harry started spending more time with Theo when Victoria and Theo’s dad, David, started looking after each other’s kids after being kept out of Hotten Hatchlings. In October 2021, David started dating Victoria and Harry was happy to have Theo around more. David was good with Harry and they were very close, later moving in together in early 2022. When Vic and David broke up in November 2022, Harry was upset and confused about by all the change.
In 2024, Harry was introduced to Vic’s long lost half-brother, John Sugden. John was good with Harry and they played football together, but John insisted he didn’t want any family. A few months later, Wendy left the village and Harry was there to wave her off. Then in May 2025, a slurry spill at Butlers Farm, resulted in Harry being hospitalised after drinking contaminated water. He had to be kept in hospital for a few days, with his mother never leaving his side and his uncle John there to support him as well.
