BIOGRAPHY: A London-born city girl with a ruthless streak and a hardened heart, Rebecca met country boy Ben during a night out in Maidstone in 2016. What started as a one-night stand quickly became a whirlwind romance, and the pair married the following year. In 2018, they welcomed twins, Oliver and Poppy.

Motherhood, however, proved far more challenging than she anticipated. As work consumed more of her time, and she struggled to feel any maternal love toward her children at all, she found herself increasingly absent from home, leaving Ben and his parents to shoulder the day-to-day responsibilities of raising the twins. The strain proved too much, and by 2021 the marriage had collapsed, finally ending in divorce in 2024.

Later that same year, Rebecca caused quite a stir when she made an unwelcome return to Glendale, partnering with Ed Atkins to launch a new law firm in the village. Tensions escalated when Poppy was slapped by her intoxicated teacher, Neha Patel. Furious and seeking revenge, Rebecca called in a favour from an incarcerated client, arranging for the now-pregnant Neha to be attacked in prison following her arrest. However, the attack was called off when Neha’s pregnancy was discovered.

Rebecca is someone who always has her client’s best interests at heart and has also been quietly managing the drug-dealing operations of several imprisoned clients, playing both sides of the law.

Now romantically linked to James Harrington-Jones, whispers have begun to circulate: is Rebecca truly in love, or simply in love with the size of his bank account?
