Although his family is working class, they are well off enough to live and have money to spare. However, at seven years old, when Gerard's father dies, things take a turn for the worst. Money is significantly harder to get, his mother's pie-shop falls into disrepute as she cannot afford decent ingredients and by the age of seventeen, Gerard is in the ever-dodgy Whitechapel District, selling himself to ensure that he and his mother can scrape by. Combined with boyfriend issues and trouble with the Nichol's gang, life is very difficult for Gerard. However, when Mr. Sweeney Todd arrives in his life, it changes drastically.

Warm-hearted and generous Nellie loves helping people though she is not without a conniving side of her own. To benefit herself, she more than willingly cuts up Mr. Todd's victims to use as pie fillings to sell to the unwitting public of London. However, as Gerard's mother and only existing parent, she is very protective of her son since his father died and disapproves of the time he spends in Whitechapel District, even though she knows it's necessary. Even more so she disapproves of many of his relationship choices, which begs the question; What would she think of her son's involvement with her homicidal neighbour?
