[edit] Character

Jackie was introduced onto the show's canvas as the mother of Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), and Massimo Marone's (Joseph Mascolo) ex-lover. Jackie believed that Massimo didn't want her or their son (Nick) and for years pretended that Nick belonged to her husband, Mr. Payne (first name unknown). Soon after her arrival in LA, Jackie became romantically involved with Eric Forrester (John McCook). Their relationship didn't last long and, after it was revealed that Mr. Payne had lied to Jackie about Massimo not wanting anything to do with her or Nick, Jackie reunited with Massimo. The two married, but their happiness was short-lived. When she realised Nick was in love with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), she was overjoyed when a paternity test revealed that Brooke was carrying Nick's baby. When she learned that there were problems with the paternity test, she convinced Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to run another test. As they awaited the results, she got extremely drunk, and realised that Deacon had taken advantage of her state. Deacon lied that the paternity test revealed that Nick was the father, when in fact the father was Massimo's other son, Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss). Massimo became convinced that Jackie cheated on him, and was determined to catch her.

After Massimo kicked Jackie out for withholding the truth about the paternity (which had created an estrangement between Ridge and Massimo), she spent much of her time with Deacon. The two learned that they had a great deal in common and became lovers again. Just as they were beginning to prepare for a future together after Jackie signed the divorce papers, Massimo shocked Jackie by telling her that he wanted her back. When Nick, who hadn't spoken to Jackie since the paternity lie came out, threw his hat in Massimo's corner as well, Jackie left Deacon and moved back in with Massimo who, since he never filed the papers, was legally still her husband. Massimo ran Deacon out of town shortly after.

Massimo and Jackie, unable to make their marriage work, finally divorced. Jackie began seeing Eric again, and became convinced that he was about to propose to her. She was humiliated when she discovered that he had married Brooke, and Eric begged her to forgive him after he and Brooke divorced. She and Eric were finally ready to move on with their lives when Felicia (Lesli Kay) asked her parents to remarry as her dying wish, and after discussing it, Jackie and Eric agreed that, after Felicia's death, Eric would divorce Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and marry her.

However, Felicia miraculously survived, and now Eric must choose between Jackie and Stephanie. Jackie removed herself from the picture, knowing that Eric needed to be with his family.

This didn't mean that she and Stephanie got along. The two women have squabbled numerous times, and recently, one of their arguments have landed Jackie in the hospital, in a coma. This has enraged her son, Nick, and with the help of Donna Logan, aims to make Stephanie pay for what she did to his mother.
