==Role in the series==
At the start of the series, Geraldine is the newly appointed vicar of the village of Dibley in Oxfordshire in England, following the death of the village's 102-year old vicar Reverend Pottle. The villagers are surprised by Geraldine's appointment as they had expected the new vicar to be male like Pottle (due to the series beginning at the time in real life where woman were starting be allowed to become vicars).
In the series, Geraldine was opposed by David Horton, the chairman of The Parish Council. However as the series progressed, David came to respect Geraldine and they briefly had a relationship and nearly married.
Geraldine's best friend is Alice Tinker, who serves as the veger at Dibley's church. At the end of most episodes, a running gag would involve Geraldine telling Alice a joke, only for Alice not to get it. Geraldine also played Cupid and paired Alice with David's son Hugo, whom she marries and has ten children with. Alice and Hugo named their first daughter after Geraldine, though Alice nearly called her Vicar, before Geraldine suggested her otherwise.
Geraldine has had various love interests in the series. In the episode "Songs of Praise", Geraldine had a crush on Tristan Campbell who was producing an episode of Songs of Praise in Dibley. She also briefly dated David's brother Simon, but the relationship did not last as Simon revealed that he had a girlfriend.
In the show's 2007 special "The Vicar In White", Geraldine marries an accountant named Harry Kennedy.
Geraldine also appeared in the show's one-off specials for Comic Relief.
In 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, Geraldine appeared in three ten minute episodes titled The Vicar of Dibley in Lockdown, which showed Geraldine performing her sermons via Zoom.
