Jesse McGregor
Jesse arrived in the Bay in 1996, and was living on the
wrong side of the law, as a thief. Despite this, he had his moral code
as to who he takes from and why.
One of Jesse's girlfriend in the Bay was Selina: they
were together for a long time. Unfortunately, he was dumped and tried
to get back with her, but to no avail. When Selina left, he got very
hurt.
He has a daughter, Rachel, who was looked after by Kylie,
his ex-girlfriend. Since their arrival, they took care of Rachel, but
also disputed as to who should take care of her.
Jesse had to survive and look after his only child, Rachel.
He set up a shop with Alf, called A&J's Baits and Bits. The partnership
was not always a workable one. He even planned to run away from the
Bay with Kylie and Rachel in order for Rachel to still have her mother
with her.
Kylie was sent to jail for a crime she committed; months
later, she died of a drug overdose. Jesse was heartbroken and started
drinking. However, it was short-lived, and with the help of his friends,
he woke up to his actions.
His workplace with Alf was burnt down. He set up his
own business - a garage. Alf believed Jesse burnt down their shop so
that Jesse could get insurance money. The person who set fire was later
found in hospital and Jesse got apologies from Alf. Not long after starting
his business, his business started attracting dodgy businessmen. Jesse
refused to deal with them, preferring to keep his nose clean. After
several thoughts, he changed his mind to and fro several times. When
he agreed to do some work for Mick O'Dwyer, he decided many times to
back out. Unfortunately, his refusal was only met by threats.
The police force got suspicious of activities at the
garage and Jesse got visits from the police. Things came to a head when
Jesse drove off at speed, avoiding the police. He was chased, but the
cars crashed. Jesse managed to get out of the car and freed Joel from
another car. He ran away and was never seen since. Poor Rachel was left
at the Nashes
