Spike (Jack Deam)

Spike was a builder who worked on a local construction site with Kurt Benson. He took a liking to Kurt's girlfriend Ruth Osborne, but she did not reciprocate his feelings. He also homophobically attacked Bazz, leaving him with a serious brain injury. Spike was later caught making unwanted advances on Ruth by Kurt. Kurt attacked Spike and they fought. Spike ended up falling off the scaffolding and was impaled on a short spike. Spike went to the police and Kurt was arrested and charged with ABH and attempted murder.
Spike refused to drop the charges and Kurt worried that he was going to be prosecuted for a crime that was not his fault. However, at his trial in June 1997, Kurt was found not guilty of all charges. Spike ended up encountering Ruth again whilst working on the repairs at Riverbank College in October 1997. He attempted to force himself on Ruth, but Rob Hawthorn managed to stop him.
