[edit] Character History

Best friends with Max Cunningham and, like Max, has grown from being cheeky and carefree to a more mature individual. However OB is still prone to practical jokes and delights in using childish humour to entertain Max's child half-brother Tom Cunningham. After a feud with Max over his girlfriend Clare Devine, OB has moved on to try to rekindle a romance with on-off girlfriend Mel Burton and hopes to help her conquer her many problems even if it means falling out with best friend Max. He was gutted when Mel ended their relationship so that she could get over her problems. Mel got evidence of Clare cheating on Max with Warren from CCTV footage in Evissa.

However, after they had both threatened Clare with it, the pub was destroyed by Sam Owen, killing Mel and leaving OB hospitalised. Clare had come between Max and OB and manipulated the situation to drive a permanent wedge between them with her lies.

Recently OB went on a date with Carmel McQueen but cut it short after she insisted they went to the Dog In the Pond, the place where Mel died. It made OB realise he wasn't over his former girlfriend and told Carmel it wouldn't work because she was not Mel. OB was suspicious of Clare when she didn't want anyone to visit Max so he checked to see if he was okay. When he got Max out of bed and was about to take him to the hospital, Clare came and took Max off OB. Clare ran off to the countryside, so she can kill him, but Just after Max began drowning, OB rushed in and saved him.

After that, OB and Max are trying to rekindle their friendship, but it has proven very difficult, but have managed.
