But after the baby was born, Sean was gutted when he discovered that Violet was planning on bringing up the child with her boyfriend Jamie Baldwin.
The couple then went to London, leaving Sean off the birth certificate.

"He's going to come back full-time. We'll see it in stages, as Sean gets used to Dylan being around", said Antony to about his on-screen son's return.
"I can't wait for it, as it gives me a totally different dynamic. I'm hoping we're going to become a little duo and it is completely unique."
Speaking of his return again this month, Antony told the : "I have a great year ahead.
“Sean is going to finally get his son Dylan back home for a great run of storylines that will map out the next 12 months.
"There also may be some love on the horizon too.”
But he remained tight-lipped about Violet's potential return.
