Gillian (Gemma Harvey)

Gillian was the social worker who visited Nancy and Darren Osborne, who expressed interest in fostering Brooke Hathaway, in July 2018. Gillian told Nancy that she had looked through her file and did not think that Nancy would be a suitable foster parent for Brooke: not only did she have concerns over Brooke's mother being the murderer of Nancy's sister, Nancy was also in a wheelchair due to relapsing-retting MS. Darren - despite initially being strongly against fostering Brooke - stepped in and told Gillian of all of the children Jack fostered or raised. Upon learning that Jack fostered a boy with schizophrenia, Gillian decided to give the Osbornes an interview.
In September 2018, Gillian arrived to interview the Osbornes. Nancy arrived late, having been told by Mandy Richardson that she was having an affair with Darren. Nancy was distant during the meeting, but Brooke spoke highly of living with the Osbornes. Gillian informed Nancy and Darren that their application had been reviewed and they were more than qualified to foster Brooke.
