Close friends say that deep down Dean Metcalf is a solid family man, but outsiders may get the impression he is emotionally guarded and unable to express his feelings. He's deeply private which could leave others wondering whether he has something to hide. Morecambe born-and-bred, Dean was once a fun-loving and driven family man, but the pressure of supporting his family through running his own groundworks business has left him harried, snappy and his wife doing the lion's share of the childcare. While he certainly loves his family, he no longer really knows how to show it. Nor does he know what is going on in their lives. With Beth tragically torn away from them, Dean must find a way to navigate being a single-father of four.
