Profile[]
Following Frank Burnside's abrupt exit in 1993, Harry Haines was forcibly transferred to Sun Hill from the Drugs Squad. Built like a prop forward (as befitted a former member of the Divisional rugby team), his easy manner and ironic sense of humour could not disguise the fact that he was a cunning operator and as hard as iron.
The move back to divisional CID angered Haines, and the team knew that it wouldn't be long before he tried to get back on the Squad. Indeed, after just three months, interference from Jack Meadows over the discovery of an LSD factory made him choose to leave Sun Hill and return there. He was replaced by D.I. Sally Johnson.
He was later seconded to the station in January 1995 to help Meadows track down a consignment of lethal heroin.

Notes[]
- Gary Whelan, who portrayed Harry Haines, played a similar character called D.S. Ken Haines in the episode "Discipline". It is unknown if these 2 characters were the same. It is possible as Chris Ellison ,who played Frank Burnside, portrayed a similar character called Tommy Burnside but a name change occurred as there was already a real Tommy Burnside serving in the MET.
