Character's background

Jean was the first and second wife of Bob Hope. They had two children together, Dawn and Jamie. Bob and Jean got divorced and Bob left Jean to raise the kids in Spain. Dawn and Jamie were very young and Jean struggled to bring them up as a single mother.

They were living happily in Spain when Dawn met and fell in love with Terry Woods, a friend of her father’s. She returned to Emmerdale with Terry and they got married – much to her mother and father’s disapproval. The couple seemed madly in love and were overjoyed when they had baby T.J.. However, the marriage didn’t last and Jean worried for her daughter as she found herself bringing T.J. up alone and with little money.

When she discovered that Bob was remarrying his ex-wife Viv Windsor, Jean decided to attend the nuptials in the place of her son Jamie. Little did the congregation know that Jean had a masterplan – to win Bob back for herself. She went as far as to kidnap the bewildered groom on the morning of the wedding. He escaped to marry Viv and Jean got blind drunk in shame – and woke up in bed with ex-son-in-law Terry!

Dawn was horrified by her mother but Jean promised it would never happen again. She left Emmerdale hoping things would improve for Dawn – but they just got worse. Dawn found herself in a terrible position when she was reported for benefit fraud by evil ex Scott Windsor.

Jean rushed to her daughter’s side and decided to move in with Dawn permanently to help her with her financial situation, evicting Dawn's lodger Jo Stiles, who was slow in paying her rent, in the process. But it was no use, Dawn got sent down and the Hopes went into crisis mode. As they shared responsibility of T.J. while Dawn was inside, Jean and Terry got close again and it was clear they’d fallen in love.

In an effort to keep the romance secret, Jean started dating boss Tom King and leading him to believe there was some hope for them as a couple. Tom discovered Jean – who was also working as his PA – had been sleeping with Terry when the randy duo were caught cavorting in a layby and put in the cells for the night.

The incident meant everybody knew what had been going on and, in disgust, Dawn ordered them to end the relationship and went on holiday to get away from them. But Jean and Terry were in love and defied Dawn. When she arrived back, she announced she had decided to take T.J. and go and live in Cornwall, breaking Terry’s heart.

He decided to go for custody of his son, but Jean implored him not to hurt her daughter and between them they came to an amicable arrangement.

However tragedy was to strike when Dawn died from internal injuries after being in the King's Showhome when it collapsed. Jean and Terry continued their relationship after Dawn's death but Jean soon tired of the relationship and life in the village.Jean took TJ to Morocco with her in December 2006 after receiving £300,000 in compensation from Tom King for Dawn's death and left the village. Terry followed her to the airport but it was too late and Jean fled.

However, Terry followed her to Morocco on Christmas Day and returned to the village with TJ several weeks later, after having persuaded Jean to give TJ back to him.
