Jody Jackson

Jody Jackson, portrayed by Kia Pegg during the third series of "Tracy Beaker Returns" and during "The Dumping Ground", is a resident at Elm Tree House and later Ashdene Ridge. She is eight years old in the third series of Tracy Beaker Returns and 11 years old in the third series of The Dumping Ground.

During her first appearance, she is portrayed as being like a tramp, having lived in squalor; she is dressed in simple clothes and smells terrible - this means Carmen develops a low opinion of her, before she discovers she is sharing with her. Carmen immediately resents and is unsympathetic to Jody and feels that her presence is intrusive.
