Backstory

Dan arrived in Summer Bay after hearing that his brother Peter Baker had been put in a coma. Dan and Leah started a relationship.

Drew and Peter

After Jack and Martha's wedding, Dan was shocked to find out that he had a nephew, Drew, who turned up in the Bay, and Dan and Leah took him in. He was shocked when Drew went missing. Then Drew turned up safe and along with his father Peter Baker, Dan's brother. Dan had thought Peter was dead, but he had actually been in witness protection. Dan refused to speak to Peter after that. But Leah eventually persuaded him and the brothers grew close again.

Moving

Dan revealed he had been given a job as a summer camp counsellor in America to Leah. Leah agreed to move with him, and they began to get ready for their new life together. Dan moved overseas at the end of 2007, with the view of Leah joining him a few months later.

Death

In early 2008, before Leah could make arrangements to move to America to join Dan, she heard the news that he had been killed in an abseiling accident. An American man revealed to Leah that Dan had actually died saving his son, and wanted Leah to have $100,000 as compensation to set up a memorial for Dan. With Irene and Roman, Leah put the money towards rebuilding The Diner and building a social club for kids to hang out at — something Dan had dreamed of doing.
