[edit] History

Sandra was the estranged wife of Beppe di Marco, and mother of his son Joe. She had walked out on the family when Joe was just one year old.

Sandra reappeared in Beppe and Joe's lives in 2000 when she tracked them down to Walford. She had left them because Beppe's family (particularly his grandparents Bruno and Luisa) resented her for not being Italian. Sandra wanted to go back to work after having Joe, but the family wouldn't allow it, and when Beppe started siding with his family on the issue, Sandra decided to leave him and her son. She later moved in with Beppe's police partner, Jack Robbins.

She left Jack to track down her son, and wormed her way back into Beppe's life. She attempted to get custody of Joe, while working as a personal assistant to Ian Beale, but Beppe used dirty police tactics to prevent this. She eventually came to an agreement to visit Joe, and went back to Jack.
