Before she dies, Lydia explains that she wanted to look after Janine after her mother died but Pat and Frank wouldn't allow it. Janine is devastated by Lydia's death but her family including Pat blame her for killing her. On Ryan's behest, Janine is questioned by police, but released without charge and Janine is stunned when she inherits Lydia's estate, making her a millionaire.
Janine buys various properties and businesses; she starts a property management company and a women's fitness centre with her boyfriend Michael Moon. When Pat needs money to pay debts, Janine gives her a loan, insisting Pat use her house as collateral. She later brings the loan payment deadline forward, refusing to believe Pat is dying. Despite a period of animosity, Janine makes peace with Pat before her death, with Pat convincing a pregnant Janine to keep Michael's child.
Janine accepts Michael's marriage proposal after he reluctantly agrees to sign a prenuptial agreement. When Jean Slater tells everyone, including Janine, that Michael stole her money and lied to her, Janine refuses to believe Jean's claims and dismisses them because Jean is bipolar. However, Janine's enemy Kat Moon returns and demands Janine repay the funds or she goes to the police. Michael eventually confesses the truth to Janine on her wedding day and offers her ultimatum: that she rip up the prenuptial agreement or the wedding is off.
Janine is torn between the two but eventually agrees to cancel the pre-nup; Janine and Michael marry but she goes into labour 11 weeks early at the wedding reception. At the hospital, Janine undergoes a cesarean and her daughter is put into an incubator, which distresses Janine who wants to see her. The baby is named Scarlett but after a breakdown with Ricky, she decides to change Scarlett's name to Patricia in memory of Pat and has her christened.
Janine later begins to doubt Michael's intent when he asks to be a signatory on the business accounts and buys a sports car, so orders Billy to change the combination on the office safe. Michael's strange behaviour continues, leaving Janine convinced he is having an affair. She confronts him, offering him a suitcase of money and saying that if he really loves her, he will refuse to take it. Michael is furious and tells Janine that she cannot hope to be a good mother to their baby.
Believing him to be right, Janine packs her bags and hands Scarlett to Michael, taking the money and leaving. Michael is informed that Janine has transferred all the money from her bank accounts and has ordered that her business Butcher's Joints be closed down, transferring all her proprieties over to another estate agent, leaving Michael with nothing.
Several months later, Janine returns to Walford and visits Michael, where Kat tells her how Michael has coped without her. Janine tells Michael that she is back for Scarlett, and says he will be hearing from her lawyer. Janine manipulates Michael into giving her custody of Scarlett and she denies Michael parental access.
She then hires Michael's former nanny, Alice Branning to look after Scarlett, pleasing Michael as Alice is on his side. When Janine catches Alice stealing jewellery from her house, Alice explains she is stressed because Michael is putting demands on her to see Scarlett, and she has been letting him do so.
Janine agrees that it is better for Scarlett in the long-run to have a relationship with both her parents. At Ian Beale's restaurant opening, Janine, as an investor, has the sign and name of the restaurant changed from "Ian Beale Le Square" to "Scarlett's" which pleases Michael.
They apparently call a truce, but Janine then leaves in a car with Scarlett, telling Michael that she may never return. Michael eventually tracks Janine down and she returns to Walford. She employs Danny Pennant , who Michael is jealous of, and buys a share in Michael's boxing club. Janine has sex with Danny but tells him that it is a one off.
She rehires Alice as her nanny, unaware that she is still being manipulated by Michael, but fires her again when she tells Janine that she had sex with Michael. The increasing animosity between Janine and Michael leads to her taking out an injunction out against him.
Michael then begins a plot to kill Janine, and involves Alice in his plans. Alice has second thoughts and tells Janine of Michael's plans.
When Janine confronts Michael he tries to strangle her, leading to Alice stabbing Michael in the back to stop him. Alice then leaves to answer the door, but realising Michael is still alive, Janine stabs him again, killing him. Alice believes she killed him, and Janine tells the police that Alice stabbed Michael twice and also attacked her, and tells Alice that the real story is something her mind created.
Alice's brother, Joey Branning , seduces a lonely Janine in a bid to extract the truth from her, but fails. Janine's former step-brother David Wicks suspects that Janine is guilty of the murder, so he manipulates her into allowing him to stay at her house, and then into admitting that she killed Michael.
David promises to keep her secret, but has secretly recorded the confession on his phone. Janine panics and tries to kill David by hitting him with a car. However, he suffers only minor injuries. After she hands over the cash, he threatens to call the police anyway. She convinces him to give her a day to get away, but Carol Jackson finds David's phone and plays the confession.
She gives the phone to Joey, who calls the police and Janine is arrested for Michael's murder, and is dragged away by the police, sobbing hysterically.
In February , Kat visits Janine in prison and tries to convince her to drop her statement against Stacey. Janine agrees on the condition that Kat provides her with a false witness testimony to Michael's murder, backing up Janine's story that Alice killed him.
Kat agrees and does so. At the trial, when Janine hears that Alice has self-harmed, she tells the truth. The jury return a not guilty verdict for both Alice and Janine.
She returns to Walford. Janine returned on 6 September as a pediatric nurse under her fake name, Judith Bernstein. She helped treat Albie Watts when his uncle, Zack Hudson took him and she instantly started flirting with Zack. I'm cutting you out of the business.
EastEnders secret rumbled as beloved resident returns at Christmas? EastEnders Stacey Slater pregnant after night with Kheerat? Janine isn't one to make empty threats, and Liam probably knows that she means business.
However, viewers - and Janine - don't know what Liam has been up to since he left Walford. It's possible he might go to extreme lengths to silence Janine. Will Ian Beale return to EastEnders? Adam Woodyatt tipped to quit. Could Janine have finally met her match in her own nephew?
EastEnders surprise wedding as Phil Mitchell proposes? EastEnders BBC. Stacey exacted satisfying revenge off of the evil Janine for her conniving. The fight ended when Christian Clarke John Partridge pulled Stacey off of Janine, who was very much the worse for wear. Undaunted, Janine would attempt to kidnap Lily, which only succeeded in pushing Ryan and Stacey closer together.
A furious Janine poisons Ryan and lands him in hospital, but he recovers and ends his marriage to Janine upon his release. Janine becomes desperate and tries to keep him in, but she fails.
He then declares his love for Stacey in the packed Vic. That would spark an argument between the Butchers and the Slaters, coupled off with Pat slapping Ryan. Angered at what was going on, Janine screams that Stacey had killed Archie of course she didn't know that she had done so because the perverted Archie raped her and she shouldn't have Ryan or the child.
Everyone ignores her because of no real evidence and also because of the fact that nobody really liked her anyway. Desperate, she visits Stacey and stabs herself with a butcher knife, intent on making it look as if Stacey had done the deed.
For a while, her scheme worked and Stacey was made into a pariah, but the conniving woman did not realize that others knew the truth Ryan, most importantly. Ryan, furious that Janine had done this to frame Stacey, tries to kill her himself by yanking her tubes out of her body in hospital, but Ricky and Pat rescue her from her furious former husband.
However, Ricky and Pat would have later wished that Ryan had succeeded in killing her, because they turn on her when she reveals that she had stabbed herself in order to frame Stacey. Ricky denounced her in their home and told her that she was dead to him. After the denunciation, Janine sobbed at the foot of the stairs. After all that, Janine would later take in her maternal grandmother, Lydia Simmonds, when she finds out that she is ill, but as always, it was for the ulterior motive of inheriting her money.
However, when she dies, Janine discovers that she is the sole heiress of her money, which finally ended her losing streak with wills. Ryan flees Walford, which pleased her. He would return from time to time if only to see Lily. She would begin to lord it all over Walford, using her newfound wealth to buy a property service which made her a whole raft-load of enemies, including her perennial foe, Roxy Mitchell; as well as threatening her ex's sister, Whitney Dean , and then she would begin to date a man named Michael Moon.
He was a cousin of Kat's husband, Alfie. These two would eventually marry, and would have a daughter named Scarlett although she would change the name to Patricia, after Pat, who had died some months before.
The two would fight over her money, her businesses and Scarlett the fact that he was also cheating on his wife with Alice Branning, a relative of her enemy, Jack Branning, only succeded in making matters worse. The animosity gets to the breaking point where Alice would stab Michael, and thinking he was dead he wasn't Despite her attempts at what she did best, scheming, lying, blackmail, extortion and manipulations, her efforts to evade justice weren't enough to carry the day to keep her out of custody.
When Joey Branning, Alice's brother, tells the police after playing the taped confession that Janine HAD murdered Michael, she was arrested in FULL view of everyone at the Square's annual Christmas party naturally and was hauled off by the Old Bill crying and screaming in hysterics, as was always the case with her.
She and Alice would be found not guilty for the murder although it was clear that Janine HAD killed him. Alice would leave Walford for good going back to her mother, which only solidified the anger the Brannings had at Janine; she would go to try to make amends to everyone in the Vic, but, not surprisingly, nobody would have it. Everyone was very hostile to her, but most especially the Branning family, on account of her ruining Alice's life the way she did.
Speaking for the family, Carol and Sonia basically told her to leave, as nobody would talk to her, not even her own family. She would finally get the message and she would leave London for good and it would be implied that she would latch on to a young couple whom she met at the airport, who had just won the lottery.
Her aim, as usual, was to con them out of their money; some things just never change! Soap Opera Wiki Explore. Actors Actresses Characters Shows Writers.
