Toby was a former work colleague of Ethan Anderson. Ethan met up with Toby and they drove off together in Toby's car, unaware they'd been seen by Ethan's boyfriend Marcus Dean. After being confronted by Marcus, Ethan explained that he was viewing Toby's house for them to possibly buy as a surprise, explaining that Toby is moving to Newcastle and needed a quick sale. When Marcus accused Ethan of flirting with Toby, Ethan explained Toby is married with a kid and a baby on the way.
