Jay was a man who Summer Shaw caught watching John Paul McQueen at the SU Bar in October 2007. Summer encouraged John Paul to make the first move, to which he bought Jay a drink. However, John Paul discovered that Jay was visiting his sister at HCC, and was actually from Birmingham himself. Jay and John Paul went back to 26 Leigh Road to sleep together, only to find John Paul's sister Tina in bed with her husband Dom. As an argument broke out between John Paul and his mother Myra over John Paul bringing home one-night-stands, Jay awkwardly left.
