Dylan James Wilson is the son of Violet Wilson and Sean Tully and was born on 22nd February 2008, having been delivered by his biological father and his partner Marcus Dent in the Rovers, because it was too late to go to the hospital.
Dylan was born four weeks prematurely. Violet and her boyfriend Jamie Baldwin intended for the child to be born in London as they planned to escape Weatherfield because of Sean's obsessive involvement in the pregnancy. When he was born in the Rovers, Sean bonded with his son, and said that when he was born, he looked straight at him and was lost for words at the fact he was the first person his son saw. Jamie also bonded with Dylan, although found it hard due to the fact that Sean was his biological dad and present at the birth.
Dylan was named by his mother and Jamie. They wanted a name that would go with Wilson and Baldwin. His middle name is "James" after Jamie. Sean suggested changing his last name to "Wilson-Tully" and asked if they would name him as Dylan's father on his birth certificate - Violet and Jamie looked at each other with mild depression. Dylan left the Street on 29th February with his mother, Violet, and his legal father, Jamie. Violet and Jamie decided to put Jamie on the birth certificate instead of Sean so Jamie could be his legal father, and so their start in London would be easier for all of them.
Two years later, Sean decided to get back into contact with Dylan, added Violet on Facebook posing as Liz McDonald, and got updated photos of Dylan sent to him. However, he was found out when Violet phoned Liz and talked about the photos, which Liz obviously didn't know about. Liz sacked Sean, but forgave him as she knew how much he wanted to get in contact with Dylan and told Violet. Violet later added Sean as a friend on Facebook, and allowed him to have contact with Dylan.
In 2011 over the Easter period, Sean went to visit Dylan, where he also reunited with his old boyfriend Marcus, who was still in contact with Violet. Violet was going through a rough patch with Jamie, so Marcus and Sean took Dylan out for the day. When they returned, Jamie had gone after breaking up with Violet. Violet made a homophobic remark against Sean when he offered to look after Dylan and he later left. A couple of months later, Violet ended up in a car accident, and Dylan went to live with Sean and Marcus at 11 Coronation Street. During his stay, Sean wanted to make Dylan a star by auditioning him for a Freshco's advert, although the producers wanted Marcus to be with Dylan. In September that year, Dylan returned back home to Violet after she recovered, although Sean still has contact with him, and went to visit him over Christmas.
In 2012, Dylan came to stay with Sean again in April, then later in the year for the Christmas period.
