Jacqui
The feistiest of the McQueens, Jacqui is the epitome of jailbird chic – the dress sense of a prostitute and handy in
a fight. Fiercely loyal to those she loves, her one wish is to have a baby with her chalk-and-cheese love interest Tony – a wish that can sadly never be a reality as she is apparently barren. The surrogacy baby plan via sister Tina has tears and heartbreak written all over it.

Heartbreak indeed. After the Battle of St Eustace and all associated issues, she has, quite literally, been left holding the baby. Still a radgy cow though.

2009 didn’t prove to be any happier for Jacqui than 2008: Tony got hitched to Cindy, Russ legged it with baby Max and then there was the unfortunate incident in Hollyoaks Later (historically never a happy a time for our fave scally) involving some knickerless photographs. Naughty naughty. Anyhoo, things were looking up for her in the form of Des the Geordie teacher, a cheery sort of fella who seems to take her radgy ways in his stride. Even fishfinger theft could not tear them apart. Aww.
The fancy flashforward episode also implicated her in the future murder of bro in law Calvin, so looks like 2010 is going to be funsies.

Hmmm so where to begin…
- Des turned into a violent racist overnight
- The seemingly-never-ending-and-as-yet-unresolved-who-shot-Calvin-plot saw her cover for her murderous cuz Theresa
- She almost slept with the late great Danny Huston for money. But didn’t.
- Romance came a-knocking in the unlikely form of Rhys – yes, that Rhys. They’re now married and we like them.
- Gilly is a bad man.
- She now works in The Dog, which most Hollyoaks residents must do at some point in their lives.
- Ever keen to take in waifs and strays (possibly a side effect of her barrenness) she has offered sanctuary to Lynsey, Terry the Dog and, most recently, hunky new lodger Ally.
