Fynn idolized Daniel's skill as a surgeon and when Daniel was killed in a car accident, Fynn wanted to make sure he honored Daniel by making sure his heart was transplanted properly into Brady Black. He also comforted Daniel's fiancee Nicole Walker. Brady told Fynn he kept seeing a woman in his dreams, and Fynn told him about how Daniel had met a woman during one of his trip.
Fynn treated Maggie and Victor Kiriakis when they were both hospitalized, and he also treated fellow Doctor, Kayla Brady, when she collapsed from a brain injury.
