==Storylines==

Duncan first appears in the village looking for theThe Dog in the Pond pub. Duncan arrives at the pub and is served by Neville who doesn’tdoesn't recognise him. Suzanne walks in and recognises him as their fifteen-year-old godson and leaves Neville furious. Duncan moves in with the Ashworths and meets [[Anita Roy]] ([[Saira Choudhry]]) and flirts with her, but she rejects his advances. Ricky is later annoyed when Duncan joins him on his paper-round. However, they become friends.

Duncan asks [[Michaela McQueen]] ([[Hollie-Jay Bowes]]) for a massage at Evissa, but she realises he wants more than an average massage. [[Jacqui McQueen]] ([[Claire Cooper]]) is sickened by his suggestion and waxes his chest painfully for revenge. Duncan is sick over [[Theresa McQueen]] ([[Jorgie Porter]]) at the students Christmas party after drinking too much. To cheer Ricky up, Duncan persuades him to have a bogus raffle to help pay for their entry fee for a party. Duncan dresses up as Father Christmas and the tickets for the raffle sell fast making them a lot of money. Later, the scam is revealed by their teacher [[Des Townsend]] ([[Kris Deedigan]]) and [[Myra McQueen]] ([[Nicole Barber-Lane]]) demands the Harrods hamper they promised. Duncan decides to make his own Christmas goodwill and steals presents from under the McQueens' and Ashworths' tree. Ricky finds the presents and stolen gifts from the Secret Santa in the shack and they open them together. Duncan is infatuated with Theresa after landing in the village, and tries everything he can but nothing he can do can impress her. He gets Darren's advice and dresses like a pimp, and while this somehow works, as well as pretending to be gay, Theresa is not interested. Duncan wins a competition where he gets to have the 16th birthday party of his dreams paid for by a reality TV company. He invites Theresa, who is invited and excited as the prospect of being filmed. While Theresa is impressed, Duncan's hopes are shattered when rap artist [[Chipmunk (rapper)|Chipmunk]] performs, and Theresa only has eyes for him. Neville finds the presents and sends Duncan home early to his parents. Duncan steals Suzanne's underwear, but he is caught and lies to her saying he might be gay.

Line 39:

Duncan notices Ricky's strange behaviour and follows him to his house. Duncan hides as Ricky goes in. He tries to look inside and hears raised voices and sees a man lying on the floor. Duncan shouts and Ricky lets him in where he accuses Ricky of being a drug dealer. Ricky snaps and tells Duncan the man is his father [[Martin Campbell (Hollyoaks)|Martin]] (Grant Masters). Duncan is pushed out the door by Ricky after Martin tells him to get rid of him. Ricky later finds Duncan and explains that his father has multiple sclerosis and if he tells anyone he will be put into care. Duncan quizzes Ricky on the condition and he is horrified to learn that nobody is helping Ricky. Duncan gives Ricky a pair of trainers and promises him that he will stand by him and not reveal his secret, and a delighted Ricky thanks him.

Duncan gets a call from a television producer about his sixteenth birthday party being featured on a reality television show. Duncan asks Ricky to help him, but he goes home to look after Martin. Duncan asks Theresa to help him so she agrees and Steve ([[Anthony Crank]]) the producer tells them that their double act will be great for television. Duncan is excited as his birthday is filmed for the show and rapper [[Chipmunk (rapper)|Chipmunk]] is revealed as his special guest. Duncan is annoyed when Ricky tells him that Theresa is only using him to get on TV, and he realises that his party is boring without his best friend.

Neville and Suzanne decide to leave the village with Duncan and go to Spain. The family leave the village for Spain, but Rhys decides to stay. Duncan returns from Spain and he moves in with [[Darren Osborne]] ([[Ashley Taylor Dawson]]) along with Rhys. Duncan speaks to his parents and they tell him he has to come home. Duncan begs Rhys to let him stay with him and he agrees. [[Jack Osborne]] ([[JamesJimmy McKenna]]) tells Darren and Duncan to move in with the family. Duncan is delighted and accepts.

Duncan announces to Darren in October 2010 that he's getting driving lessons so he can drive and finally get a girl. When Darren quizzed his age, Duncan announced that he was actually 17 - he just lied to the reality show earlier that year so he could have the "Sweet 16th" birthday party. Duncan reveals to Darren in December 2010 that his parents tried to kill him one Christmas, which is the reason why he does not want to join them this year. He also stated that they have been in a number of game and reality TV shows. He is then delighted to hear from Rhys that he is going to join Suzanne, Neville and Josh in Spain for Christmas and that he didn't need to worry about the cost of the flight tickets as Neville has already paid for them.

On Christmas Eve along with Jack, Duncan discovers [[India Longford]]'s ([[Beth Kingston]]) body in a nearby woods whilst taking their dog for a walk.
