Dylan Kim Timmins is a fictional character on the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours, portrayed by actor Damien Bodie. He first appeared in 2005 and currently remains on the show. He is set to leave the show in 2007, rumor is he will die of cancer.

Dylan Timmins is Stingray's brother, and former boyfriend of Sky Mangel. He was formerly a high-school dropout in juvenile detention. Now released, he is trying to reform himself, but is constantly being put down by his mother.

Dylan is currently doing business work for Paul Robinson. Paul convinced him to set up his friend Roo to be arrested by the police in an attempted robbery of "Scarlet Bar". When Sky and he tried to save some animals that had been poisoned in the contaminated Lassiter's Lake, he then got poisoned himself, and is now more susceptible to cancer and other ailments. After some help from Paul Robinson, Sky and he, with the help of other residents, managed to bring down Affirmacon, a corporation Paul was originally working with. Affirmacon were planning to buy out Ramsay Street so they could build a shopping centre on the land, using a fabricated report saying Ramsey Street would be flooded by 2010. After Affirmacon's fall, Paul was pushed into a swamp by Affirmacon henchmen. Sky and Dylan found him, it is assumed he was in cardiopulmonary arrest because Sky initiated CPR.

Paul's leg was infected and it needed to be amputated, but Paul was refusing treatment. Dylan forged Paul's signature to save his life.

After recently being involved in the plane crash at sea, Dylan attempted to stage his own death by avoiding the search and rescue teams in an attempt to start a new life after being charged with armed robbery under duress. He made his way back to Erinsborough, and revealed himself at his own wake when he discovered that his brother was likely to be imprisoned too, because he had not blamed the robbery all on Dylan. The two brothers had a brief period in jail, before Police Constable Stuart Parker went undercover as an inmate and got them released.

Dylan started a small food business called Dyl-Dogs as a challenge from Paul to double $2000; however, he later gave his business to his father to take over as head chef and manager at Lucinda's café. Since Paul's acquisition of The General Store, Dylan has been co-managing both The Store and Lucinda's, with notable focus of his attention being placed on the former. He then severed his ties with Paul when he was framed by his evil son Robert for an accident in which some shelves nearly crushed Elle. To make matters worse he then found that Sky had slept with her art teacher, and dumped her. He then started as a chef at the Scarlet Bar. Mentor Paul is keen to see Dylan paired with his daughter Elle both romantically and professionally in the future.

After Dylan's split from Sky, Sky then found herself pregnant and unsure whether the father was Dylan or her art teacher JP. When she discovered that Dylan was the father, he wouldn't let her speak to him, thinking she was just trying to get back together. In this time Dylan began a relationship with Elle. Sky decided to have an abortion, relieving Dylan, but didn't end up going through with it. She decided to keep the baby, giving Dylan no choice in the matter. He resented this, feeling he was not ready or good enough to be a father.

Elle warned Dylan that Sky was just playing him to get him back and Dylan realised he still loves Sky. Dylan told Elle that he was considering getting back with Sky (it was, he felt, best for the baby). Elle became scared that she would "lose him" and, with encouragement from her father, lied to Dylan (and eventually everyone else), telling him she had a serious illness. Dylan felt terrible and doted on Elle.

After Elle's brother, Cameron, died she came clean to Dylan. Dylan dumped her and reunited with Sky. Dylan then proposed to Sky at Luna Park.

Until recently, Dylan was unaware that he was not the father of Sky's baby. His brother Stingray is the biological father. When Sky confessed that Dylan was not the father he stormed off, later on he returned to Sky and said he would forgive her if she promised him that something like this would never happen again, she then confessed that Stingray was the father, this crushed Dylan he ended his engagement to Sky. Dylan found Stingray and invited him for a boy's night out in the city. He took Stingray to a tower and angrily told him that the baby was his, Dylan then denounced Scott as his brother and walked off. In order to avoid Stingray at work, Dylan quit his job as a chef at the Scarlet Bar and found a new career as a shareholder in Lassiter's Hotel. This sent him back into Elle's arms. Thinking that fatherhood can save Stingray from his drinking, Sky goes to Lassiters Hotel to find him, but a mix-up occurs at reception and Sky finds herself in the wrong hotel room and face-to-face with Dylan and Elle kissing each other. The trauma of the moment overwhelms Sky and she leaves Lassiter's crying, she sits on a bench and is spotted by Teresa. Sky is then attacked by a stabbing pain in her stomach, she is taken back to hospital when Karl announces she has gone into premature labour. Sky is wheeled into the delivery room, Harold, Janelle & Loris arrive and provide Sky with the support she needs and with one last push the baby is finally born, in honour of Sky's deceased mother she decides to call her daughter Kerry. Later it is revealed that Karl got his dates wrong and that Dylan is Kerry's biological father, not Stingray. After Dylan proved that Kerry was his he decided to fight for full custody rights, but abandoned the idea. His relationship with Stingray is now starting to heal. Dylan has been dating Elle Robinson non-exclusively and has been quite dismissive of her, recently she has dumped him after she got fed up of being abused by Dylan.
