Ok, hateful, spiteful, evil, deranged, psycho etc etc - but the character is hilarious and excellently played by Charlie Brooks.
What made me giggle last night, just after she was millimetres away from being squashed by a train, was her mobile ringing. Pat had guessed Janine had something to do with Lily's disappearance.
Now here is Pat - Janine's only friend, ally, family member that sticks by her after all she's done. How has she put Pat in her phonebook? 'Fat Pat'.
You love to hate her (the character that is....)
I kept thinking, you can't write her out or kill her off - she is in turn, hilarious, evil, hysterically funny and completely bonkers.
janine is brilliant, and it wouldnt be the same without all her story lines. (so wicked)
How Charlie brooks can play her so well, baffles me. She's one fantastic actress
