Character History

Feisty, ambitious and flirty, DI Dale Jackson arrived in Hollyoaks as an inspector solving the murder investigation of the Toby Mills case. Dale was very passionate about her job as she put took an immediate approach to the murder investigation by deciding to get every man in Hollyoaks’s DNA sample. Dale arrested teenager David "Bombhead" Burke after she caught him acting suspicious and also arrested Dan Hunter after he slept with the victim the night before she was attacked, but both were proven innocent.

Dale moved in with her work colleague, Will Davies. Dale was an immediate hit with Will’s daughter Abby who treated her like a mother figure, however she was not a popular choice for Will’s son Ben. Ben disliked Dale and saw her as a threat, whilst Dale just flirted with him. Dale ended up seducing Ben as the pair slept together. Dale was aware that Will had feelings for her but she liked to keep her relationship professional with Will. However, it did not stop Dale from flirting with Will to wind Ben up. Yet again, Ben fell for the charms of Dale, but this time the pair were caught by Will. Dale was not bothered, but Abby found out and was not happy with Dale upsetting her father. Dale offered to move out, with Ben and Abby wanting her to leave, but Will insisted that she had stayed.

Soon, Dale got her claws into Will as the pair began to date, but her intentions were to make Ben jealous. Meanwhile, in the murder case there was a turning point when teenager Steph Dean had been attacked but managed to survive. With her being the only hope, Dale questioned Steph, but she did not remember the incident. Pressure had been taken off a bit on Dale, when Steph gave a vague description of who she thought was the serial killer, and Dale made an arrest. But nothing was over when he was released after he had an alibi, which had resulted in Dale being sacked. Feeling depressed, Dale turned to old flame Ben as she thought she could rekindle their love, but he rejected going through that path again. Having nothing left in Hollyoaks, and not even a goodbye said to Will or Abby, Dale left the village for good.
