Introduction
George first appeared on Brookside Close in Episode 28, the same episode in which resident Gavin Taylor died. Later when Gavin's wife Petra died the Jackson family moved into No. 10.
Family
George, his wife Marie, and their twin sons Gary and Little George later moved into number 10. The Jackson family's tenure on the close was short lived as George was wrongly convicted for a Warehouse Robbery. George was incarcerated and Marie began an appeal to get him out of prison.
George's attempts to secure his release were unsuccessful, resulting in his continued imprisonment. Consequently, Marie and their sons were compelled to leave their home in 1985. Subsequently, Billy Corkhill purchased the house and relocated there with his family.
