Delilah first makes a phone call to Howie on 18 July 2022. On 1 August 2022, she arrives in Walford, annoyed at Howie for not telling his new partner, Kim Fox, about his son. She gives him one more day to do so. On 1 August 2022, Howie attempts to tell Kim about his son, Denzel, but Kim believes he’s talking about them getting married. Patrick then walks in with Denzel, greeting Howie. Denzel then begins setting up his gaming set up and the Fox-Trueman living room while Howie and Kim talk, and Howie attempts to gaslight Kim into thinking he’d told her but she doesn’t remember as she was drunk. Howie says that Delilah needs Howie to look after Denzel while she’s in Ibiza. Howie says he’s trying to find a flat, and tells Kim that when he said they needed to talk, it was about Denzel staying. Howie admits he’s not need a good dad and wants to be more like Kim is with her kids. Howie says Denzel is staying for two weeks, and Kim says Denzel is welcome. Later when Denise visits, she reveals that Pearl is excited about having a new step brother.

When Delilah shows up with Denzel’s gaming chair on 4 August 2022, she tells Howie to help with the chair, and then sees Denzel’s stuff on the sofa. Howie says there’s a been a change of plans and Delilah says this is the only chance Howie will get at seeing Denzel. So he shouldn’t mess it up. Kim then walks in, and Delilah asks how old she is, with Kim saying she’s old enough to have her number. Delilah asks what the change of plan is, and Kim says there isn’t one. Delilah remarks Howie picked a right one before leaving, and Kim says it’s a good thing as he evidently picked a wrong one last time. On 15 August 2022, Howie learns that Delilah is staying in Ibiza as she has met someone out there, and Kim lets Denzel stay with her and Howie at 20 Albert Square. In March 2023, Howie attempts to call Delilah to inform her about Denzel being involved in a car crash, but she doesn’t answer.
