Nev was a crook who sold twenty-five food mixers to Tracy Barlow to sell on in Barlow's Buys. Soon afterwards, Tony Stewart told her that the items were in the paper in a story about their theft from a warehouse during which a security guard was badly coshed. When Nev called in again later, Tracy demanded her money back from him and threatened him with the police, upon which he pinned her against the wall. Tony came to her rescue and Tracy used the opportunity of the diversion for a quick knee to Nev's vitals. She emptied his wallet and Tony's presence sent Nev on his way.
