and Sophie Burton
, as he also invited Sam to rape Sophie. While Andy raped Mel in her own home, Sam decided not to go through with raping Sophie, but told Andy that he did the deed. However, the drug rape scenario was becoming common in Hollyoaks as Danni became convinced that Andy drug raped her and the Burton twins also realised that they have become victims of Andy. However, what worried Andy more than having his victims know what he did was the fact when he discovered that Sam did not go ahead in raping Sophie and he felt betrayed when Sam had lied to him. Andy met up with Sam at the quarry for another ’This Way Up’ challenge, but ended in Andy confronting Sam about why he lied to him. During the scene, Russ burst on in revenge against Andy for what he did to Danni and a brawl began between the three of them. It led to Andy being pushed accidentally off the quarry, leaving Russ and Sam the fear that they killed Andy.
But the pair were to prove wrong as Andy survived the mighty long fall and vowed for revenge against the Owen brothers. After a few months, Andy was ready for his vengeance against Sam and Russ. In the last late night special in this storyline called Hollyoaks: Back from the Dead, Andy kidnapped Sam and Russ's younger sister Nicole Owen
. Nicole thought she was being taken for a romantic weekend getaway in Southport but when her mobile phone rang and Sam and Russ told her to get away from Andy. With several messages given to Russ and Sam, they realised that Andy was alive and had held their sister hostage in Southport, as they made a bid to find him.
Eventually the pair made it to the warehouse in Southport
Pleasureland where Andy had captured Nicole but were left heavily beaten by Andy who attacked the brothers with a pole. Andy tortured the three Owen family members as he revealed the part of Sam during the drug rape and also began to rape Nicole in front of her brothers, until he was hit from behind by an unlikely hero, Melanie Burton. Mel had come to Southport for the weekend with her friend Sam "O.B." O'Brien and had seen Andy but O.B didn't believe her. Andy woke up and found himself tied to a chair as Mel fed him his own medicine of GHB and was questioned by her, but eventually managed to escape her clutches. His fate however was met as he ran from Mel and as he went into a dark warehouse, he ran straight into a sharp pole which impaled him right through his stomach as he died a painful death.
The effects of Andy's time in the village would still be felt 7 months later, when Sam Owen started a fire in The Dog In The Pond to get back at Sophie Burton for turning him over to the police for his part in the rapes.
