BiographyEdit

Haley's parents are not fond of him until they hear him play the song he wrote for Haley, titled "In the Moonlight (Do Me)," in front of them, which causes them to think that maybe they were wrong about him. That is, until they hear the chorus. When Dylan and Haley got in a fight, he plays the song from his phone in front of her house in a reference to the film Say Anything, and she makes up with him. Despite the song's vulgarity, most of the family members afterwards were seen singing the song. His band consists of 4 members including him, two other guitarists, and a drummer, all of which (except for the drummer) can be seen playing in the episode Travels With Scout. Cameron, Haley's uncle, was a drummer in his band for one gig. He and Haley break up early season 2, but are reunited on Valentine's Day. In Dude Ranch, he proposes to Haley, but is interrupted by Claire. Later, he gets a job as a ranch hand, and he and Haley break up. In the episode Virgin Territory, Phil accidentally discovers that Dylan had sexual intercourse with Haley, yet this was kept a secret from Phil by Claire, Haley and Alex (who reveals it by accident). In the episode Disneyland, Haley sees Dylan after Alex points him out, and Dylan is initially embarrassed to see Hayley.

Apart from appearing frequently during the series, he is labeled as a guest appearance in each episode he is in.

Relationship with HaleyEdit

Dylan and Haley seem to have an unsteady relationship. They are frequently shown to be either heavily in love with one another, or Haley is severely mad at him. Their relationship begins non-physical, such as shown in the first episode, Pilot, but later progresses to become sexual.
