Drew [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] Harwick (25) is [name_u]Milo[/name_u]’s dad and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]’s ex. The two are amicably raising their son as co-parents, although [name_u]Drew[/name_u]’s work as a professional model means he’s away from his son more than he’d like to be at times. An impulsive, passionate person, [name_u]Drew[/name_u] never does things in halves - which can annoy some, although his son absolutely adores this, as he’s very malleable when it comes to [name_u]Milo[/name_u]’s wishes. [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] used to argue a lot in the aftermath of the breakup - as he doubted he and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] could remain together thanks to his job - but they’re on better terms now for [name_u]Milo[/name_u]’s sake, and its evident that [name_u]Drew[/name_u] still has feelings for her sister; as much as he tries to downplay them.

Sutton [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_u]Wiley[/name_u] (16) is [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]’s younger brother and the one member of the family who she’s considering telling the truth about her relationship with [name_f]Nina[/name_f] to. [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]’s very unphased by academics and definitely prefers humanities: being keen about history, with a growing interest in philosophy too - things that contradict his image as a chilled out skater with few worries. Otherwise at school (a mixed gender private, as the closest all boys school was over an hour’s drive away), he’s popular and very much the social butterfly.

Having dated around a fair bit in his first year of high school, [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] is now in a committed relationship with a girl he cares deeply about (although expressing this isn’t something he’s perfect at). He also works at a clothing shop on weekends, wanting to get some financial independence from his parents.
