Storylines[]
Jez is a bully in Ben Mitchell's year at Walford Primary School. He is first seen at Ben's tenth birthday party, when he and another boy, Ali, fix a game of pass the parcel, so Jez wins the prize, a camera. He is later seen at the opening of Walford Video, when Ben's father, Phil Mitchell's lawyer, Stella Crawford embarrasses Ben by revealing that the shop isn't actually his yet – and Jez teases him. Jez is then seen in March 2007, bullying Ben in the playground at school, threatening to make him deaf in his only hearing ear. This leads Ben to wetting himself, and Stella, Phil's girlfriend, tells Ben to stand up for himself, then watches as Jez and some other boys attacks Ben. Phil later attacks Jez's father, Vince Franks, and tells him to keep Jez away from Ben.
