Andrew 'Drew' Curtis is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Home and Away, portrayed since mid-2006 by actor Bobby Morley.
[edit] Peter's son
Drew was the product of a relationship between his mother, Christy, and Detective Peter Baker (Nicholas Bishop) when they were both in high school. Christy kept her pregnancy a secret from Peter, who was unaware that Drew existed until Christy moved on to a new man, who had children of his own. Drew did not fit into this new family. Christy had no time for Drew and decided to send him to boarding school, asking Peter to fund it.
Upon meeting his father, Drew insisted that he had no interest in getting to know him. Peter recognised that his son needed stability and an education, and respected Drew’s wishes not to be a part of his life.
When Peter was presumed dead after an explosion in 2006, Drew’s uncle, Peter's brother Dan (Tim Campbell), brought Drew back to Summer Bay to live with him and his wife Leah (Ada Nicodemou). While Drew quickly warmed to Leah, her son V.J. (Cooper Scott) and Dan's son Ryan (Isaac Gorman), he was bitter and resentful towards Dan, having never had a father figure. In time, however, he formed a bond with his uncle.
Drew began dating Belle Taylor (Jessica Tovey), who was also a rebellious teenager, but this fell apart when Drew began a clandestine affair with Belle's mother, Amanda Vale (Holly Brisley).
Peter eventually turned up alive, but Drew still wanted nothing to do with him and opted to stay with Dan and Leah. Drew and Peter have begun to get closer, despite the fact that Peter is now dating Amanda.
Drew is still in love with Belle Taylor, even though they will be step brother and sister when their parents marry. Recently Drew and Belle split again due to their seperate loyalties.
