Jeanette is a cab driver and mother to Michael. She made her only appearance on 15 June 2021 - Part 1. She was portrayed by Dani Dyer.
Storylines[]
Jeanette is flagged down by Mick Carter after his car suffers a flat tyre in his attempts to get to the hospital where his wife Linda Carter is having a baby scan. Jeanette is heavily pregnant herself, and when they stop for her to use the loo her waters break. She panics as her partner is away, but Mick takes charge of the situation and drives her to the hospital. Once there, she pleads with Mick not to leave her, calling him her guardian angel (something which Mick called her when they first met), and Mick accompanies her as she has the baby. She gives birth to a boy, who she names Michael (after Mick).
