Rebecca Miller (EastEnders)

Rebecca Miller (born Chloe Jackson) is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She is played by Jade Sharif.

Life

Chloe was delivered by Mo Harris in her mother Sonia Jackson's house on 26 October 2000. 15-year-old Sonia didn't know she was pregnant. Chloe was the result of an underage fling between Sonia and Martin Fowler. She was subsequently given up for adoption, and social worker Ameena Badawi found her a new home.

Two years later, Sonia, who had delved into depression over the guilt of 'abandoning' her daughter, kidnapped the toddler (now renamed Rebecca) from her adoptive parents, Neil and Sue Miller. She was eventually handed over, and it was only a few more years before her next meeting with her birth mother.

In 2005, Neil and Sue were killed in a car crash, and Rebecca moved in with Sue's mother, Margaret Wilson. The news of the crash was read by Sonia in the newspaper, and she and Martin, who were now married, grew concerned for their daughter and decided to track her down to make sure she was well. Posing as friends of the Millers, Margaret allowed the Fowlers into their home and it was only when they admitted who they really were that she told them to get out.

Pauline Fowler, Martin's mother, demanded to see the little girl, and Margaret gave in after a few attempts, and allowed Pauline to meet with Rebecca. After some disagreements, Pauline decided that it was time to say farewell to Rebecca for good, and she and Margaret parted on good terms.

Pauline, however, accidentally sent a birthday card to Rebecca that Sonia has planned on sending years ago (although she kept it instead), and Margaret turned up, asking if Martin and Sonia would like to go to Rebecca's birthday party. Since Sonia wasn't in, Pauline went instead, and she and Martin kept this visit secret from Sonia, who went ballistic when her husband admitted the truth. This added intense pressure on their already strained marriage.

As such, following Margaret's illness, she asked Pauline if she, Sonia and Martin could look after Rebecca for Christmas 2005, but her visit was postponed to February 2006 and then she went back to live with Margaret again.

Margaret decided to make Sonia and Martin Rebecca's legal guardians in case anything happened to her, but then found out that Sonia was living with Naomi Julien, and decided that only Martin could be Rebecca's legal guardian.

When Margaret had a fall and died, Rebecca was left in the care of Martin. Pauline did not want Sonia to see Rebecca but Martin allowed her access. When Martin began a relationship with Carly Wicks, Rebecca took to her straight away and Sonia was devastated when Rebecca told her she'd rather go to the park with Martin and Carly than to the seaside with Sonia. Rebecca also asked Carly to be her "mum" for the mum's race at her school's sports day.
