Joanne Jackson is a fictional character in the British soap opera Coronation Street. The character has been in the soap since 2005.
Joanne arrived at Underworld with her twin sister Jessie and proceeded to cause much amusement by claiming to be identical despite the obvious difference in appearance.
Joanne is the shyer of the two and lacks confidence where men are concerned. Her crush, and subsequent date, with Nathan Harding came to nothing after she was left feeling stupid and embarrassed about having a make over for someone who wasn't really interested in her.
Following his nasty break up with Leanne Battersby, Jamie Baldwin was keen to ask Joanne out on a date. After a disastrous date the two realised that they did enjoy each others company and shared a kiss. This was followed by the promise to see each other again (unfortunately this was ruined by Jamie's problems with his alcoholic mother, Carol and they decided against starting a new romance so soon after his break up with Leanne). She was also gutted when Jessie was sacked from Underworld and left to become an air hostess.
When Kelly Crabtree took Joanne under her wing, Kelly's obsessed "friend" Becky Grainger threatened her, scaring Joanne half to death. When Kelly was set up for stealing at the factory by unhinged Becky, Joanne was the only person who believed Kelly was innocent and was instrumental in convincing the other factory workers that it was Becky, not Kelly who was to blame.
For most of 2006, Joanne dated Adam Barlow. However, she has kissed her new factory boss, Liam Connor (who, incidentally, Adam sold his half of the factory to) and had a fling with him, despite Kelly being sure that Liam fancied her, she soon dumped Adam via a text message.
In a forthcoming plot, she will be arrested as an illegal immigrant.
