Introduction

Jackie was introduced as the long-suffering estranged wife of Jimmy Corkhill in 1991. The two became one of the soaps most popular couples.

Marriage with Jimmy

Although they were estranged when Jimmy moved onto Brookside Close, they got back together in 1991. In 1995, Jimmy bought No 10 (his brother Billy's old house) and Jimmy, Jackie and daughter Lindsay moved in. When Jimmy discovered that Jackie had bought the house using drug money, he began to distrust her. Jackie then later had an affair with Ron Dixon. Jackie was distraught when her son 'Little Jimmy' was murdered by drug dealers after he fled France to escape his debts with them. Jackie later has a baby William. Following Jimmy's depression, the two eventually split up and Jackie left Brookside Close in 2002. The couple later divorced and Jimmy bought her half of the house and stayed on there.
