First
arrived
In 2005. Sex bomb Jo
Stiles descended on
the Dales after
Paddy Kirk went
looking for a
temporary
receptionist for the
vet surgery. Her
arrival didn’t go
unnoticed by the
local men –
especially Max King
and Danny Daggert
whose lusting was
cringe worthy.
Character
reference
Confident, bright
and sassy, Jo knows
what she wants from
life and how she’s
going to get it. An
only child, Jo is
used to hogging the
limelight and being
the centre of
attention. Jo is
confident in her
looks and uses it to
her advantage
whenever she can. Jo
will shirk
responsibility,
unless of course
there’s something in
it for her.
Love life
She agreed
to go on a date with
Danny Daggert but
soon realised he was
far too tame for a
bad girl like her.
She lived with Dawn
Woods and her
boyfriend Scott
Windsor, but caused
trouble when Scott
tried to seduce her.
Jo turned him down,
but the damage was
done and when Dawn’s
mother Jean arrived
in the village, she
told the vet’s
receptionist to move
on.
Jo was delighted to
be invited to stay
at Butler's Farm
with Andy Sugden and
his wife Katie.
However, the fragile
peace was about to
be shattered. Having
sexy Jo around
started to get on
Katie's nerves,
especially when Andy
seemed more than
happy with the view.
She made moves to
try and get her to
leave, but Jo was
determined to stay
by whatever means.
When she saw Katie
being kissed by
Andy's teenage
brother Daz, Jo saw
an opportunity to
blackmail her rival
and Katie lived on
tenterhooks, trying
to work out what her
next move would be.
However, behind the
clueless blonde's
back, Jo was
planting seeds of
doubt in Andy's mind
– and the farmer was
about to find
himself unable to
resist her.
By hinting that
Katie couldn't be
trusted, Jo managed
to wreck Andy's
already fragile
faith in his wife.
Believing Katie was
sleeping with Jamie
Hope behind his back
the troubled lad
fell into Jo's
clutches and began a
steamy affair with
her. When the truth
came out and he
realised Katie had
been faithful, Andy
was horrified
by actions and
called time on his
and Jo's affair.
Jo was heartbroken
and humiliated but
she wasn't done yet.
Realising she had to
change her tactics,
Jo began to make
herself totally
indispensable to the
family. It didn't
hurt that she was a
natural with Andy's
baby daughter Sarah,
who'd come to live
with them – a job
Katie struggled
with. When push came
to shove, Andy
picked Jo and Katie
moved out. She now
leads the life of a
farmer’s wife – but
how long before this
former wild child
gets bored?
Memorable
moments
Jo and Katie had a
cat fight in the
manure up at
Butler’s, much to
the delight of all
the show’s male
viewers.
What next
for Jo?
Andy is now hers,
but is that enough
for this former wild
child? Domestic
bliss is what she
craves at the
moment, but what
happens when a bit
of excitement
arrives in the
village?
