Jason also throws Aaron into the cell where Gordon hung himself. Aaron later asks Jason for some spice, and Jason agrees to give him some if Aaron delivers drugs to other inmates. Nell Fairfax, played by Scarlett Archer, made her first screen appearance on 30 March 2017. Archer was a fan of the show, before she was cast as Nell. She found the filming schedule to be "quite terrifying". She said she enjoyed playing Nell, adding "It's always fun to play someone who is quite different from you in real life, and Nell is very much that. I'm much more grounded and more confident than her!" Nell was introduced as a new friend for Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson). When Jai meets Nell at Narcotics Anonymous, she reminds him of his deceased girlfriend Holly Barton (Sophie Powles) and becomes determined to help her. It was announced on 9 July 2017 that the character would be departing the serial at the conclusion of her storyline. Nell's departure comes "as a blow" for Jai, with Daniel Kilkelly of "Digital Spy" predicting the departure would feature "more of the same" drama that Nell had featured in prior to her departure. Producers chose to not disclose details of Nell's departure at the time of its announcement. Nell departed during the episode broadcast on 12 September 2017. While attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in the village hall, Nell listens as Jai Sharma talks about his late girlfriend Holly Barton, and how he blames himself for her death. Nell then tells her story and Jai realises that there are parallels between her and Holly. Nell thanks Jai for his encouragement and Jai offers her his coat, as she is shivering. Jai later finds his coat at the hall, but without his wallet, which was in the pocket. Nell initially denies taking it, but soon returns it when Jai threatens to call the police. Jai takes Nell to lunch at The Woolpack. Nell finds Jai the following day and asks for some money, but Jai refuses as he does not trust her. A few weeks later, Nell overdoses and she contacts Jai. He collects her from the hospital and invites her to stay at his home, Holdgate Farm. His sister, Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade), does not want Nell around her daughter Amba Metcalfe (Ava Jayasinghe), so Nell leaves. Jai offers her a job at his sweet factory and pays for a room at the local B&B for her.
