Storylines[]
Jackie is a market trader who is elected as the Chairman of the Bridge Street Market Traders Association. He is asked to liaise with Phil and Grant Mitchell, who have purchased land that has been used by traders previously. However, Jackie finds himself in an awkward position when he realises that he has been a friend of the Phil and Grant's late father, Eric; they boxed together in 1966 and some traders believe that Jackie was showing favouritism to the Mitchell brothers.
When the council attempts to close part of the market for a possible development, Jackie, along with the other traders, petitions and protests against it. Fruit and veg trader Pete Beale is not impressed with his efforts and usurps his post as chairman. The councilman in charge of the development, Stuart Kendle, attempts to bribe Pete and Jackie to drop their opposition. Impressed by Pete's determination, Phil and Grant break into Kendle's office and find evidence that proves he is corrupt. The market is saved.
In March 1991, Ian Beale decides that he wants to take over the lease of the Dagmar, where Jackie is squatting. He plants a computer that Phil and Grant stole from the council in the wine bar so that Jackie will be evicted. Jackie then leaves the Square and is never seen in the area again.
