Jackie Dobbs is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street played by Margi Clarke. She was introduced in 1998, but written out in 1999 due to the personal problems of the actress who played her. Nine years later, in 2008, the character was reintroduced, once again played by Clarke, who initially signed a two-month contract. Jackie continued to make sporadic appearances until March 2010.

It was confirmed in July 2018, that Tyrone would receive the news that Jackie had died in the coming weeks, ruling out a return for Clarke and giving Jackie an off-screen death. [1]
