Jack Woolley
played by Arnold Peters
Description
Once a pillar of the Borchester community, Jack has succumbed to the cruel condition of dementia. One by one he sold Grey Gables, the Borchester Echo and Jaxx Caff as his illness progressed. His third and most stable wife Peggy became his carer, guiding his ever more elusive thoughts back to a place where he can feel comfortable. But even she eventually had to accept that Jack needed residential care.
