Alaïa Jade (born Alana Jacobs), a fictional pop star portrayed by Lindsey Normington, has passed away within the story. Inspired by artists like Madonna, Kesha, and Katy Perry, Alaïa was stuck in a difficult situation with her producer, Shane Sills (played by Ben Chase). Shane controlled all of Alaïa’s music and even had access to her private files, allowing him to profit from anything she created. Though she’s gone, there’s enough unfinished music to release at least two albums after her death, and plans for a holographic concert are already underway. Shane Sills, like many exploitative figures in the music industry – including real-life people like Dr. Luke and Scott Borchetta – served as the inspiration for this character.
