EMMERDALE
Jean will be most remembered for her ten and a half years appearing as Dolly Skilbeck in 948 episodes of Emmerdale. Dolly Skilbeck was one of Emmerdale's most tragic figures. She arrived from Darlington as Dolly Acaster to work at The Woolpack and fell for widower Matt Skilbeck. Her past came back to haunt her, however, when former lover Richard Roper arrived and her dark secret - a baby bom illegitimately and given away for adoption - was revealed.
Dolly married Matt and gave birth to son Sam. She had an affair with timber consultant Stephen Fuller, who tragically died after they split up. Matt eventually left and the marriage was over. More heartache came when Dolly had an affair with crooked councillor Charlie Aindow, became pregnant and decided to have an abortion.

It was so sad to hear of the passing of my lovely Emmerdale colleague Sheila Mercier just before Christmas on 13th December, and my sympathy goes out to her two grandsons, daughter-in-law and other members of her family.
She was the first face recorded on Emmerdale in 1972, and she was extremely gracious and welcoming to me when I took over the role of Dolly Skilbeck a decade or so later.
I was honoured to contribute to a well deserved tribute to her on BBC Radio 4’s LAST WORD, along with Frazer Hines. Thank you BBC.
The programme will be repeated this Sunday at 8.30pm on Radio 4.
It can also be heard on BBC Sounds:
