But things took a dark turn when he discovered she was taking drugs, and he decided to partake too.
After getting arrested for possession, Jay tried to explain himself to Ben Mitchell, dad to Jay's stepdaughter Lexi Pearce.
Ben is disgusted with Jay's recent actions and he tells him that he's going to kick him out of their shared flat unless he stops.
In the Queen Vic, Jay tries to talk to Ben and promises him that he'll pull up his socks and do better for Lexi's sake.
But when Nadine turns up in the pub, things take a bad turn...
