Jade Masood (born Roya Masood, previously Green and Wicks) is the daughter of Dean Wicks and Shabnam Kazemi. She made her first appearance on 12 June 2015. She is portrayed by Amaya Edward from 2015 to 2016 and by Elizabeth Green from 2023 onwards.

Backstory[]

Jade is the product of a one night stand between Shabnam Masood and Dean Wicks. Originally, she was named Roya Masood. However, after being fostered she was named Jade Green. Shabnam revealed to her friend Stacey Branning that she had a daughter, whom she abandoned. After Dean finds out he has a daughter, he goes looking for her and gains custody. She is left in the care of Dean and his mother Shirley Carter who then changed Jade's surname to "Wicks", once a DNA test had confirmed that Jade is Dean's daughter. However, she now lives with Shabnam, following Dean’s arrest.

Storylines[]

2015-2016[]

Jade is first seen when her grandmother, Shirley Carter, tracks Jade down after finding out about her. When Shirley forces her way into her foster parents' house, she sees Jade with a nebuliser on, and this is due to her being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a condition which her uncle, Jimbo Wicks, had and ended up dying from.

Shabnam decides she wants to be part of Jade's life, following the death of her son, Zaair Kazemi. Shabnam and her husband, Kush Kazemi go into a custody battle with Jade's grandparents, Shirley and her boyfriend Buster Briggs. However, Shabnam decides she is not ready to raise Jade as she is still grieving for Zaair and is persuaded not to go for custody.
