Story:

Connor was one of Nick Cutter's students who went to investigate a creature sighting in the Forest of Dean with Nick and Stephen. Connor soon became a member of the anomaly research team thanks to his extensive knowledge oon prehistoric creatures. However, since Connor went to investigate a creature sighting with Abby without telling anyone else, and since the sighting turned out to be false, Connor was removed from the team. He was asked to come back because they needed to find out what the centipede like creature in the underground was.

From then on Connor was a permanant member of the team. He fought off a mosasaur with a paddle and then moved into Abby's flat while his was being made up. His friends Tom and Duncan put a tracking device on him. A Dodo which had come through an anomaly ate the tracker so Tom and Duncan got hold of it. Tom was bitten by the Dodo, but the Dodo had actually infected him with a parasite. The parasite eventually killed Tom and Conner and Duncan were very sad.

In series 2 Connor found it hard to believe what Cutter said about Claudia and things changing in the present due to something Nick did in the past. Connor started dating a girl called Caroline, who had to put up with Connor going away to the ARC every time they had a date. Connor later dumped Caroline, so she stole Rex from Abby's flat. The reason Caroline had dated Connor was because Leek had payed her to keep an eye on him and the team.
Connor made an anomaly detector, so they could find out whenever a new anomaly appeared. This was really helpful to the ARC. Connor was later kidnapped with Abby, Nick and Jenny, by Leek and Helen. Connor escaped but Stephen was killed by the creatures, but so was Leek.

In series 3 Connor managed to create something that would close an anomaly thanks to egyptologist Sarah Page and Nick. Connor investigated a strange house where Nick predicted an anomaly may appear. In episode 3 of series 3 the ARC was attacked by Helen and her army of clones, Nick was killed by Helen, but Nick gave Connor a mysterious artefact that Helen had had.
Connor and Sarah investigated the artefact and found that if you shine a laser through it at the right point a shape appears above it, which looked similar to something Cutter had been building. Connor had to move out of Abby's flat with the two Diictodons which, had been left in the present after the anomaly they came through closed. Connor moved in with Lester. Connor helped get Rex back for Jack, when he gambled him away. Connor then helped Danny, Abby and Becker rescue Abby's brother, Jack then told Abby what Connor had done for him, and Abby kissed him.

Connor and Abby helped deal with a group of Embolotherium, with help from a mysterious woman called 'Eve', who Danny had brought to help. They then returned to the ARC, to find that Christine Johnson wanted the artifact and wanted 'Eve' back. Eve revealed herself to be Helen and took Johnson and the artifact to Johnson's headquarters. Connor and the others followed Helen to Johnson's headquarters, where they found an anomaly. Helen and Christine went through the anomaly, and Christine was killed. The anomaly closed, so Danny decided to follow Helen and find out what she was up to.

Connor, Abby and Danny went to the future via another anomaly, and they found Helen in a future version of the ARC, where she used the artifact to track a route to Site 333 in the Pliocine, where the first hominids evolved, she planned to stop the human race evolving. Connor managed to open the same anomaly that Helen had opened. Connor was knocked out when Danny set off a bomb to stun some raptors that were attacking them. Connor then saved Abby from the raptors, and they climbed a tree for safety. Connor then asked if he could move back into the flat and she said yes...
