Biography:

Jean is the first of Bob’s four wives and mother to two of his four children. She owns a bar in Spain. In February 2003 Terry Woods, Bob’s best mate, turned up on holiday in Spain near where Jean’s bar was. He grew close to Dawn and eventually they got engaged. Dawn returned to Emmerdale with Terry and Jean soon followed as she tried to persuade them not to marry. But they wouldn’t listen.

Jean returned to Spain and Bob was left to try and break up the couple. But Jean came back for the wedding.

Jean arrives back in Emmerdale and isn't pleased to discover that Terry hasn't stopped the wedding
