She also took an intense interest in Doreen's baby after finding out that she was pregnant, showing jealousy towards other people close to Doreen including Nash and Liz. She sabotaged Liz by planting alcohol under her pillow so Doreen would distrust her and make Jess alternate career for the baby instead of Liz. She later made several attempts to have the baby taken away from Doreen, trying to convince the nurse that Doreen is not fit to be a mother, and slipping illicit drugs into her tea.
