Jean (2023 character)

Jean is the maternal aunt of Marshall Hamston.
Jean visited Marshall in July 2023. Jean assured Marshall that she never abandoned him, explaining that she wrote her phone number on his birthday cards, but quickly realised that Marshall's homophobic father Colin Hamston, who disowned Marshall for being gay, intercepted them, leaving Marshall shocked. Jean stated that Marshall's late mum would never forgive Colin for his abusive behaviour and that she would be proud of Marshall. After sensing Marshall wasn't as happy in Emmerdale as he was making out, Jean offered Marshall the choice to come live with her and her family in Formby, but to think about it first. The next day, Marshall decided to accept Jean's offer and said an emotional goodbye to his ex-boyfriend Arthur Thomas, Arthur's mum Laurel Thomas and Laurel's fiancé Jai Sharma before leaving with Jean.
