[edit] About Dave
Dave was a farmhand at Home Farm, and began an affair with lady of the manor Kim Tate, despite being in a supposedly happy marriage to cafe owner Kathy Bates. When Kim's husband Frank found the pair in bed together he uttered the now infamous line - "What do you call this Dave - overtime!?". From that moment on, Frank became Dave's sworn enemy.
Things began to get complicated when Kim discovered she was pregnant, and she planned to run away with Dave, believing the baby to be his. However, when the baby was born a DNA test was carried out, proving Frank to be baby James' nautral father
Tragedy struck Dave when after his sister Linda's wedding he ended up back at the Queen Vic to confirm his plans with Kim to run away. Whilst in James kissing him goodnight Dave unwittingly accidentally dropped a lit match on the carpet in the living room of the flat above the pub, thus causing a massive blaze at the pub. As he and Kim rowed with Frank outside the Vic in Albert Square, they spotted the fire in the bar and Dave ran back into the pub to save both baby James, but he becoming trapped himself when the staircase collapsed on him as he tried to escape through the back door of the pub to safety and the flames grew bigger and Dave couldn't get out as he was surrounded by both flames and smoke blocking all the exits. By the time the Fire brigade arrived,it was too late.
Unfortunately and sadly Dave died in hospital, due to smoke inhalation from the fire. The cause of the fire was treated as arson because David Platt set it alight for the insurance.
