Verity Banks 2018
Marital Status: Philip Banks

As it looked like Tyler Brennan was headed to prison for the murder of his father Hamish Roche, word got out into the local community, and Tyler was approached by a man named Adrian Snyder. Snyder explained that he was there on behalf of Philip Banks, an inmate who had heard about Tyler and would ensure that he had an easy time on his arrival at the prison, if he did something in return. Snyder told Tyler that Philip Banks was concerned that his wife Verity was being unfaithful, and he wanted Tyler to try to seduce her and see if she took the bait. Tyler was unsure, but after speaking to Gary Canning, who knew of Banks from his own time in prison, he turned down the deal.

Snyder then mentioned that this decision could have some unpleasant consequences, especially for Tyler's girlfriend Piper - and the mention of Piper's name forced Tyler to change his mind. After explaining the plan to a shocked Piper, Tyler was sent a photo of Verity, and he approached her at The Waterhole. They got chatting, and it wasn't long before she invited him back to her hotel room, where he was hoping to find evidence of her infidelity. However, Verity caught Tyler searching the room and told him that she knew all along that it was a trap, and that her husband had done this to her before. She told Tyler that her husband was desperate to prove that she was cheating so that he could divorce her, and leave her with nothing in the process, and that she visited hotels alone to escape the stress of his plotting.

When Tyler, who'd originally told her that he was called 'Nathan', gave his real name, Verity immediately became concerned and asked if he was related to a Mark Brennan. As Tyler told her that Mark was his brother, Verity said that he had good reason to be worried about meeting Philip Banks, as Mark was the police officer who'd put him in prison in the first place.
