In 1996, Scott left the village to join the army and when he returned in 1998, Ben Freeman took over the role and played Scott until early 2007. During his time on the show, Scott had his fair share of shocking storylines, including a controversial relationship with his adoptive sister Kelly, fathering Zoe Tates child, and having affairs with Debbie Dingle and his new step-sister Dawn Woods.

In the show, Scott left the village in 2007 to stay with an old army friend in London.
