She's had her fair share of setbacks - her ongoing battle with bipolar disorder, her difficult relationship with son Sean and, of course, adjusting to life without Stacey and granddaughter Lily. But don't be fooled into thinking that Jean's a pushover. She can be tough - she's had to be to get where she is today.

After meeting Ollie, and realising she had well and truly fallen in love, Jean finally threw caution to the wind and departed Walford with Ollie. But with Stacey banged up, Jeans back!
