He is unhappy and vulnerable to Terry's suggestion that he become a drug-dealer but when an innocent kid gets hurt he sees this as a wake-up call and grasses up the other dealers.

Sean and Yvonne

Sean O'Neill lives unhappily with his wife Yvonne and their three young children. Sean struggles to conceal his temper and regularly beats up Yvonne as she tries to conceal the marital abuse from her family and finds walking away from him difficult. Yvonne's Irish mum Mary and sister Kerry aren't so easily deceived. Kerry arrives offering support much to Sean's annoyance. Finally plucking up the courage to end her marriage, Yvonne gets Kerry's partner Alex to change the locks so Sean can't get into the house. But getting Sean out of her life proves impossible with him demanding access to the kids. As events spiral out of control Sean beats up Alex. It's all too much for Mary who dies suddenly after watching Alex being beat up. Recalling Mary's jibe to Sean that he'd be 'in the ground' before she was, Yvonne and Kerry ensure that the prophecy comes true: They corner a drunken Sean and beat him to death with lead piping, and dispose of the body in the plot that shortly afterwards sees Mary's coffin lowered into it.
