JJ Roscoe

Joseph "JJ" Roscoe Jr. is the biological son of Joe Roscoe and Lindsey Butterfield, the half-brother of Gabriel McQueen and Lexi Roscoe.
Lindsey discovered she was pregnant in July 2014, but didn't know if the father was her fiancé Joe Roscoe or Joe's brother Freddie Roscoe, who Lindsey was having an affair with. In September, Freddie demanded that Lindsey do a paternity test. Lindsey forged a paternity test showing Joe as the father, which upset Freddie however, in October, when Freddie is shot by Robert Gupta during a siege at Dee Valley University Hospital, Lindsey confesses to Freddie that the baby might be his.
In November 2014, after walking in on a confrontation between Freddie and Grace Black at The Loft, Lindsey discovers that Freddie killed Grace's father Fraser Black and framed Joe for it. Lindsey decided to report Freddie to the police, but ended up going into premature labour. With help from Freddie, Lindsey gives birth to a baby boy, who she named JJ. After JJ's birth, Lindsey does a secret paternity test, which confirms that Joe is JJ's father. 
On New Year's Eve 2014, Joe discovers Lindsey and Freddie's affair, and Lindsey, along with JJ, move in with Freddie at 5 Oakdale Drive, Flat 3, but allows Joe regular access. In April 2015, after Freddie and Lindsey get engaged, Lindsey rushes JJ to hospital when she thinks he swallowed the diamond from her engagement, but is relieved when the x-ray comes back clear and later finds the diamond in her handbag. In April 2016, Lindsey was exposed as The Gloved Hand Killer and tried to flee with JJ, but when Freddie got in her way, she unwillingly fled alone, leaving Joe to care for JJ. In May, Lindsey was murdered by Silas Blissett, and Joe raised JJ with his girlfriend Mercedes McQueen, who took on the maternal role in JJ's life, with JJ soon calling Mercedes 'mum'.
In November, Joe died after falling from a ferris wheel at the Halloween Spooktacular. Mercedes continued to raise JJ and his half-sister Lexi until Joe's ex-girlfriend Joanne Cardsley revealed JJ and Lexi would be looked after by Joe's mum Sandy Roscoe, who was listed as their legal guardian in Joe's will, in South Africa. Mercedes was reluctant to let them go, but eventually agreed, and said an emotional goodbye to JJ and Lexi before they left.
