[edit] All Saints

Jolene plays Erica Templeton, a nurse of the emergency department. It is known that Erica wanted to become a doctor but she didn't achieve the desired marks on her HSC and therefore became a nurse.

She is one of the youngest cast members and one of the most popular with the audience. This was evidenced by her popularity on the show It Takes Two.

In the first episode of the 2007 season of It Takes Two, Jolene and her partner David Campbell performed The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani and scored eights from all four judges giving them a score of 32 and therefore being at the top of the leaderboard for the first episode of the series.

She continued to score highly amongst the judges and was one of the favourites for the entire competition. On June 19, she became the first contestant in the show to score a perfect ten from all four judges on both performances.

Jolene and David then went on to become the winners of It Takes Two, July 10th 2007, beating Jo Stanley and Anthony Callea in the finals. The couple scored 115 to Jo and Anthony's 105 in the final round by singing That's What Friends Are For, Stop and Never Can Say Goodbye.
