Dylan is Haley's on-again-off-again boyfriend and, like Haley, is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He doesn't have much of a way with words and often fumbles through telling Haley how he feels about her. He plays guitar in a band and has the absolute adoration of Phil, Haley's dad. Haley's mom Claire, however, doesn't think much of him and hopes her daughter will move on from what she thinks is a simple high school relationship.
