Iona Donovan

Iona Donovan (previously Campbell) is the daughter of Courtney Campbell and Liam Donovan, and the adoptive daughter of Jesse Donovan.
In April 2017, Courtney and Liam met at The Loft and later had a one-night-stand. A few weeks later, Courtney found out she was pregnant, by which time, Liam had left the village. Courtney considered having an abortion due to her condition and after her last pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage, but ultimately decided to keep the baby. Courtney later started a relationship with Liam's brother Jesse Donovan, who agreed to help her raise the baby. In December 2017, Courtney gave birth to a baby girl, whom she named 'Iona'.
After Iona was born, Courtney's granny manipulated her into thinking that she was an unfit mother. In the end, Courtney asked her granny to adopt Iona. By the time Courtney realised the truth, Granny Campbell had moved to Edinburgh with Iona. Iona was later returned to Courtney after Jesse's dad Glenn Donovan threatened Granny Campbell, forcing her to hand Iona over and making her leave the village for good. In August 2018, after Courtney was arrested and charged with drug dealing, social services took Iona and made Granny Campbell her guardian. In November 2018, the charges were dropped against Courtney and Liam (whom had returned to the village a month prior) was granted full custody of Iona, but later signed over custody to Courtney.
In October 2019, Iona was adopted by Jesse, and her surname was changed from 'Campbell' to 'Donovan' in January 2020 when Courtney and Jesse got married. In June 2021, Courtney and Iona moved to Scotland after Courtney got offered a job there.
