[edit] About Jamie

It took a long time for Jamie Hope to find the desire to come to Emmerdale. He felt that his father Bob abandoned him and his sister Dawn when they were kids and even though she’d managed to forge a fantastic relationship with Bob, Jamie wasn’t sure he could. However, the marriage of Bob to his fourth wife Viv proved to be enough of a draw to get Jamie to let bygones be bygones. And when they met again, it was immediately clear that Jamie and Bob are cut from exactly the same cloth. Even though he turned up for the wedding, Jamie wasn’t about to forgive and forget the past. He landed a punch on his dad’s nose at the reception when Bob had a go at his mother Jean and told the bewildered groom that he could never forgive him. When Jamie flew back to Spain, Bob was saddened. He’d wanted so much to have another chance with his son but it seemed that all was lost. So when Jamie arrived back a few weeks later, Bob was overjoyed. However, Jamie wasn’t after a cuddly reunion with his old man. Pretending to be the dutiful son, Jamie tried to con Bob out of £2,000 so he could pay off an ex-girlfriend who was keeping his prize pooch Snoop hostage. When Bob rumbled Jamie’s plan he was heartbroken. He threatened to cut Jamie off forever if he walked away with the money and after much soul searching, the lad decided he wanted to get to know his dad after all. But Emmerdale is a small place with a bloke with big ideas. Stuck working at step-mother Viv’s café to pay off the loan Bob had given him, Jamie was bored and frustrated – especially when his exotic food ideas were given short shrift. Then he stumbled upon a new venue of employment when local antiques dealer Rodney Blackstock gave him the chance to prove what a great salesman he is. He made a tidy profit but a full time position didn’t materialize so resourceful Jamie decided to go it alone again. Now he spends his time organizing raves, trying to get his ice cream business off the ground and trying to catch the eye of local lovely Jo Stiles
