He was frequently mentioned from 2008-17, before appearing in person in May 2017, and left two months later in July 2017. He returned in January 2020. He left in December 2022, when the character was killed off.

## Storylines

Shive is mentioned for nearly 10 years before he appeared. In October 2014, Gemma arrives at Laura & Fred's wedding, and announces that Shive has died. In December 2016, Delilah starts getting threatened by Christopher Thomas, who is after money. Gemma secretly phones someone, who is revealed to be Shive. He turns up on the doorstep & frightens Delilah. He then reveals the truth to everyone, saying that Christopher was threatening to burn his house down if he didn't pay the money, so he faked his death and had been living in France for the last three years, & sent Gemma round to tell everyone. Gemma is disowned. In July 2017, Shive tells Delilah that he is going to sort the problem once & for all. He phones Christopher & invites him over to the house, where he says he'll give him all the money as long as he tells him the truth about something. What happened to Jack Cooke, an old friend of Delilah, Shive & Christopher. Christopher tells him that Jack stole his girlfriend & the pair got married. He then precedes to say that he tortured & killed him. Shive, disgusted at his blase attitude to the situation, refuses to give him the money. Christopher tells Shive that he's going to kill Delilah, Rebecca, Maria, Gemma & Nick, & starts to walk away. Shive grabs a kitchen stool, & hits Christopher on the head with it, killing him. Shive panics, & runs out of the house. He sees the helicopter crash, & whilst everyone isn't looking, drags Christopher's body near the site, to make it look like he died during the crash. As he gets there, he realises that Gemma, Lucy, Maria & Mareon are trapped under the rubble. He goes in & rescues Lucy & Maria, & then a badly injured Gemma. He then goes back in to help Mareon, but rubble falls on him, killing him.

In 2020, Shive arrives in The Tumpetty and is surprised to see Nick (now Jade) (who is equally as surprised to see him), his brothers (including Adrian who he'd never met before). It also transpires that he is seeing Tammie Slater. In May 2021, Shive gives Jade 4 Poshnob Place as a 21st Birthday present as she was looking for a bigger house. This is jeopardized a few weeks later, when it is sold by Paul Flappa and Rachel Ginger Eye. However, Jade and Emma win it at the auction. Shive and Tammie move into The Tumpetty. In December 2021, Shive proposes to Tammie, to which she accepts. In March 2020, Shive, Dave, Tammie, Jade, Maria and Gemma are in the back of The Tumpetty, when Shive collapses with chest pains. He is told he has had a heart attack causes by a potentially hereditary heart condition, and tells him that his close family will have to test, with 50% possibility, which he got from his father. A week later, Shive gets the results back, and Karren, Shive's sister, and Gemma test positive. In June 2022, Shive and Tammie's wedding party is interrupted by Hayli Squinteye. In July 2022, Shive gets into an argument with Daniel Howells. Daniel vows revenge on Shive. On Shive's wedding day, Daniel sabotages the track of The Sunny Railway. Wallace and Shive are driving the train, and the train derails, going off the track and crashing into a tree. Shive later suffers a heart attack, and is taken to hospital. In August 2022, Shive and Tammie attempt to marry again, but this time the ceremony is interrupted by a woman named Samantha Evans, who is Shive's ex-wife, whom he never divorced. He is also introduced to his long lost daughter, Donna. Samantha continues to manipulate Shive, insisting he split from Tammie or she'll harm his children. On Christmas day, Samantha holds Shive hostage on the roof of The Tumpetty, handcuffed to her. Shive tells his children how proud he is of them and tells Samantha he only ever loved two women: Delilah and Tammie. Shive then jumps off the roof, sending both Shive and Samantha to their deaths.
