Jess Willard

Jess moved into the Nixon Street flats with her boyfriend Quentin immediately after leaving secondary school. She quickly became a friend and confidante of Halifax and was inducted into his circle of friends.

Unbeknownst to Halifax, Jess was his daughter from a brief relationship when he was in college, immediately before he broke off all contact with his family and took to the streets. Following her mother's untimely death, Jess was adopted by her paternal grandparents and grew up in the same house as her father. A chance encounter online led to Jess discovering that her father was now going by the name 'Halifax', and instead of confronting him directly she conspired with her gay best friend Quentin to pose as a couple and live nearby so that she could decide for herself whether her father was somebody that she wanted in her life.

Jess has recently taken Ginger in as her roommate. After her parentage was accidentally discovered by Halifax, he initially pushed her away but soon came to terms with being a father. Since then she has tried to emulate her father's example, though he recently convinced her to accept a position at Manchester Metropolitan University, where she has developed a major crush on her Journalism lecturer, Doctor Smith.
