"Rayne took advantage of Nadira’s kindness; she manipulated her into using her company credit card as Rafe’s event planner for the party house. She told her no money would come out but it has and now she’s essentially stolen a huge sum of money from her boss. She helped Rayne despite her better judgement and now she could face some devastating consequences if anyone finds out.
Despite clashing in the past, Ashling opened up about why Nadira has helped Rayne, saying: "Nadira is so compassionate and empathetic she finds it really difficult to say no to anyone asking for help, especially the best friend of the first person she’s had feelings for since Juliet. Plus, she was assured no money would come out so no one would need to find out!

Opening up about the future for Nadira and Lacey, who have recently become involved in a romantic relationship, Ashling said that Rayne's death will come between them and potentially destroy their relationship forever.
"As much as I’d like to say yes, I think the long-lasting effects and trauma Rayne’s murder has caused will plague the entire group and make Nadira and Lacey’s relationship really tricky. Sometimes people bond through trauma and sometimes it rips them apart, only time will tell!"
