Jennifer Aldridge
played by Angela Piper
Description
Devoted or doormat? Saint or simperer? There seems no limit to Jennifer's tolerance for her errant husband Brian. Whatever nasty surprises he throws at her, she seems capable of getting past them. Whether or not this is to her credit is a matter of opinion but there's no denying her admirable tenacity. Maybe it's the journalist in her which enables her to look at her problems from all angles, or maybe it's her own chequered history with men. She's had to draw on all of her resources of patience and tolerance for the challenge of the care of Brian and Siobhan's son Ruairi, and has been more than equal to the task. All this while supporting her mother Peggy Woolley's struggle with the progressive decline of Jack, too...
