Who was Jean Tate in Emmerdale?<\/strong><\/h2>\nJean is the daughter of Zoe and Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman).<\/p>\n
She was conceived during Zoe and Scott\u2019s one night stand, and Jean\u2019s mum has no recollection of having slept with Scott due to her schizophrenia. When she learned she was pregnant, she assumed she had been raped.<\/p>\n
After considering getting an abortion, Zoe decided to carry the baby to term and give it up for adoption.<\/p>\n
Born on 24th January 2003, Jean was named after Zoe\u2019s late mother. Despite having found a suitable couple willing to adopt the baby, Zoe changed her mind, set on bringing up Jean alone.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Scott was aware of being Jean\u2019s father but was reluctant to tell Zoe.<\/p>\n
Things got awkward when Zoe hired Scott\u2019s girlfriend Chloe Atkinson (Amy Nuttall) to be Jean\u2019s nanny. Whilst on the job, Chloe left the baby unsupervised and not strapped properly to her chair, causing Jean to fall from the kitchen table. The sitter didn\u2019t tell Zoe about the incident.<\/p>\n
After suffering another injury when a lamp fell on her head, the baby was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. She recovered, though Zoe was horrified to learn her daughter had a broken rib as a consequence of her first fall. Social workers launched an investigation into Zoe\u2019s responsibilities in Jean\u2019s injuries, ultimately leading\u00a0to Scott telling the truth and claiming Jean as his own.<\/p>\n
Syd (Nathan Gladwell) told Zoe about how Jean got her injuries in front of Chloe, who took the blame with social workers and was ultimately fired.<\/p>
