[edit] Character History

Rhys first arrived in Hollyoaks to inspect the new family home (previously owned by the Hunters); he pulled up to the village in his flashy sports car (which his dad bought and paid for him). His parents were working and his younger siblings were in school, so it was up to Rhys to negotiate a price with the Hunters. When the family did move in, Josh and Hannah were fighting with their parents over who should get the biggest bedroom, however Rhys had already moved his stuff in and told his siblings that he would need the biggest room for when his best mate Gilly Roach came to stay.

The following day Gilly came round and they decided to check out the courses at Hollyoaks Community College. After some really bad choices they eventually decided to go exploring the campus and stumbled on to the girls sports team. They volunteered to help the sports tutor Kathy Barnes by assisting her students. Rhys saw a girl he really liked and the following day he waited for her to show, but Gilly got bored waiting and they left but a few seconds later the girls' college sports team did show up.

He managed to finaly find out her name which was Sarah Barnes and she told him she was a student teacher. What Rhys didn't know was that she was a schoolgirl who was the same age as his little sister Hannah. In fact she and Hannah were at the same school and in the same class and the two girls had become friends. Sarah was only at the college cause her mum was a tutor there. Rhys eventually found out the truth about Sarah when she was at his house for a study session with Hannah. Rhys called off the relationship when he found out.

This romance then resurfaced, much to the annoyance of Sarah's bossy mother Kathy who vowed to put a stop to it - even going to the lengths of sleeping with him to prove he couldn't really love Sarah. Sarah found out about this and broke off her relationship with Rhys. They got back together much to the annoyance of Sarah's mother and Rhys' little sister, Hannah. He is best friends with Gilly Roach, but his relationship with Sarah is slowly making a gap in the friendship. Gilly suspected that Rhys was going under the thumb with Sarah, and it seemed as though Rhys considered it too when Sarah asked about a two-week holiday using his Grandad's inheritance money, and then spoke to him about what it would be like living together.

He got jealous because he thought that Sarah was flirting with Craig Dean. Sarah then got angry and said hurtful things which annoyed Rhys. Sarah kept texting Rhys for forgiveness. When she found him, he was in the pub and it looked like he was flirting with another girl. Sarah angrily accused him of having an affair and Rhys ended the relationship. Sarah was deeply upset over this and in desperation offered Rhys a casual, almost open relationship which he accepted. However it is clear that she was unhappy with this arrangement. When the two were in bed together, Rhys told Sarah that he wanted a picture of her naked. He photographed her on his phone and boasted to Darren Osborne of the pictures when he was in the SU Bar watching a football match. When Rhys went to the toilet, Darren saw that Rhys had left his phone, leading to the photos being sent to everyone in the SU Bar, and even published in a lads mag. Sarah dumped Rhys because of this. Rhys became increasingly jealous over the way that Gilly, his best friend, and Sarah were getting on well. When he confronted Gilly about his and Sarah's relationship at Kathy's birthday party, Gilly angrily let slip in front of everyone that Rhys had slept with Kathy.

Rhys & Gilly fell out, and didn't speak for 3 months, whilst Sarah would start a relationship with Craig Dean. Rhys and a very drunk Sarah kissed at Hannah's 18th birthday party, but were broken up by Craig angrily attacking Rhys after he saw them kissing. Although Sarah has since said that it was a drunken mistake and she does not want to be with Rhys any more, Rhys is once again, finding it difficult to accept.

Rhys has recently been meeting up with a mysterious older woman. It was revealed that Rhys has been working as a male escort to earn money.
