## Background Info

Jodie was introduced as one of the original characters in N&F, appearing from January 2008. The character stopped appearing in May 2009, along with Lucy for unknown reasons. In February 2016, it was announced that Jodie would be returning, played by Ella Grace Gregoire. She returned in May 2016. It was a mystery for many years why Jodie was black, however this was answered in May 2016, when Jodie's father, Darwin Moknsbury (Gary Beadle) was introduced, who was black. In early 2019, NJE considered recasting Jodie, with Millie Inbetween actress Mya Lecia Naylor in mind, however Naylor suddenly died in April 2019, aged 16, so the recasting was delayed, possible cancelled. NJE commented, "so sorry to hear about Mya, she would have been perfect for the role of Jodie." In November 2019, it was announced that Jodie would be recast to Kyanne Carthy, meaning that Jodie will take a break from December 2019 to February 2020.
