Episodes: 4838-4839

Occupation: Counsellor

Craig was the counsellor in charge of the drug rehab clinic where both Belle and Liam ended up. He ran a group therapy session where he got one of the other patients, Zoe Nash, to tell the group about how her habit cost her her boyfriend and ruined her life. He invited Belle to speak as well but she refused and walked out. He later approached her alone and told her she needed to be honest in order to recover and she admitted Zoe’s story had been exactly like what had happened to her. At the Diner, Craig spoke with Rachel, who told him Aden was feeling guilty about sleeping with someone else (Nicole) while Belle was in rehab, and concurred with her assessment that Aden should stay away from her for the time being because Belle shouldn’t be given false hope.

Craig congratulated Belle on opening up to him and guided her and Liam through a group session. He helped calm Liam down when he became angry about the press intruding on his recovery and offered him something for his withdrawals. He wasn’t seen on screen again but a few weeks later he gave Belle permission to return home. When Liam subsequently had a relapse and was taken to hospital, Belle told him that she’d called Craig and he was going to meet him there.
