Jack can be somewhat hot-headed and impulsive, and is often defiant of authority figures - his respect must be earned. He usually goes with his gut instinct in cases. Jack is intelligent and perceptive, and confident in his abilities as a forensic scientist. In Squaring the Circle, Jack has a brief relationship with DI Sarah Parks, though ultimately nothing comes of it. He turns Ryan in to the police after discovering he coerced the underage murder victim to sleep with a businessman to blackmail him. Jack is badly injured whilst working the case after being attacked by the true perpetrator, though he survives and eventually wakes up after being in a coma. It is also revealed that Jack was actually the one who threw the punch that broke the jaw of the man Ryan was fighting with, attempting to defend his brother, but Ryan insisted on taking the blame. This leads to Jack being taken off the case - though he secretly continues working on it anyway - and a conflict of interests between solving the murder or protecting his brother. In Fraternity, Jack is reunited with his brother, after Ryan is arrested for murder. He later divulges this to Nikki, who suggests that nothing Jack could've done would have changed Katie's fate, if it were already in her nature. Jack becomes very emotionally involved in the case of a serial killer targeting vulnerable women featured in the Series 17 story In A Lonely Place, due to the fact it reminds him of Katie. However, he rejects her again, saying he should've trusted his first instinct, when he discovers she slept with another detective to get a promotion. Jack is reunited with Chrissy - now a DI - in Trust.Things are very tense between them, but their relationship improves when Jack comes to the conclusion he may have overreacted and falsely accused Chrissy. He is very grateful to Nikki when she saves him from being stabbed in the throat by serial killer Alan Lane. He works closely with Nikki Alexander and often flirts with her, like his predecessor Dr Cunningham. In his spare time, he trains and competes in MMA fights. Jack quickly settles into the Lyell Centre, using his forensic knowledge (and occasionally his knowledge of martial arts) to help solve cases. Leo is looking for a replacement for Harry, who had left in the previous series and, impressed with Jack's skills, hires him (inadvertently hiring Clarissa as well, as Jack insists that where he goes, Clarissa goes too). Jack appears in the first episode of Series 16, Change, where he helps the Lyell Centre solve their latest case. This occurred three years before his arrival at the Lyell Centre. Jack was very vocal in his complaints and eventually left Yorkshire to come work in London. Jack accused Reed of framing the man to solve the case quickly and advance her career he even went as far as suggesting that she only had an affair with him to gain access to his lab (which is somewhat debatable). Jack was very fond of Chrissy however, he later suspected that someone had tampered with the forensic evidence he'd collected, which was then used to convict Reed's prime suspect. Jack had an affair with a police detective named Chrissy Reed, whilst they were working together on a rape/murder case. As a result of their strained relationship, Jack did not see or speak with Ryan for around five years he didn't mention to anyone, even Clarissa, that he actually had a brother. This was perceived as betrayal by Ryan, though Jack had no real choice, as he risked losing his job otherwise. Ryan ended up being charged with GBH and Jack, as the only witness, had to give evidence against him in court. In 2009, Jack witnessed a fight outside a pub between his brother and another man, during which Ryan beat the other man badly. He had also heard of Professor Leo Dalton and greatly admired the man. At some point, Jack met Clarissa Mullery, a fellow scientist, who became his lab partner and friend. Jack was devastated by her death, blaming himself for years and also refusing to speak with his parents for six months after it happened.Īs an adult, Jack studied biological science, eventually becoming a forensic scientist working with the Yorkshire police. Jack later discovered that Katie had been kicked out by her parents and died of a heart attack shortly before her nineteenth birthday, due to a drug overdose. However, after she was expelled and fell in with a bad crowd, Jack's parents forced him to break up with her, which he said "broke his heart". When he was sixteen, he went out with Katie, a rebellious new girl at his school. He has an older brother named Ryan Kelvin. Jack was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in West Yorkshire.
