About Deke

Deke first arrived in Charnham in June 2001 as a friend of Benji McHugh who he met while in Jamaica on holiday. Yasmin, Benji's sister took a shine to Deke, mostly thanks to his jokey demeanor and they began dating. Deke later moved into the flat above Dusty's store with Benji, Yasmin and their aunt Pearl and even set up a video counter called "Video Pearl".

Later on, Deke's younger brother, Ziggy arrived in Charnham after being released from prison. It turned out that Ziggy had served time for drugs offences and killing his sister. Deke wanted nothing to do with Ziggy at first but after a few words from Pearl and Yasmin, he relented.

Deke later began frequently rehearsing with his band which put a strain on his relationship with Yasmin, driving her into Ziggy's arms. Deke subsequently left Charnham in February 2002 after finding about his girlfriend and his brother's affair.
