It's no secret that the couple, Robert Beck and Jane Danson, are no strangers to the world of soap operas. When Robert made his return to Emmerdale last year, Jane, who is a star on Coronation Street, couldn't contain her excitement and shared her joy over the news.
Robert is best known for his role as Gavin Ferris, Bernice's ex, back in 1999. But recently, he made a comeback to the soap as Chloe Harris' father, Damon. When Robert expressed his happiness about working on Emmerdale again, Jane took to Instagram to pay a sweet tribute to him.
On Robert's birthday, Jane wrote, "Happy birthday my love @robertbeck529. And congratulations on your @emmerdale return – I owe Emmerdale a lot - 24 years of us – I love you darling." It's clear that the couple has a strong bond, and Jane often uses social media to show her love and appreciation for her husband.
But have you ever wondered how they first met, how long they've been married, and if they have children? Well, keep reading to find out more about this lovely couple.
Jane and Robert's love story began in 1999 when they met at the first-ever British Soap Awards. Robert, who is now 55 years old, has been a familiar face on TV since the 90s when he first rose to fame as Peter Harrison in Brookside. He has also appeared in other popular shows like The Upper Hand, and of course, Emmerdale, where he played Gavin Ferris.
Like his wife, Robert has also made appearances on Coronation Street as the infamous criminal, Jimmy Dockerson, and on Hollyoaks as Fergus Collins. More recently, he has been seen in the ITV series The Bay.
The couple tied the knot at the Gibbon Bridge Hotel in Lancashire in December 2005. Jane has gushed about her husband, saying, "Rob is absolutely my best friend in the world. We've only had about two rows in 20 years. I'm not saying we don't get on each other's nerves sometimes, but we're a strong team, and we've always allowed each other to be individuals."
Interestingly, Jane has revealed that Robert was her childhood crush when she first saw him on Brookside. She even had a sticker of him on her pencil case, and she thought he was gorgeous, even though he was ten years older than her.
The couple has two sons, Harry, who was born in 2006, and Sam, who was born in 2009. Jane has spoken about juggling family life with their acting careers, saying, "The good thing about it is that we both get soaps, and we both understand the schedule. Sometimes things change, and we just have to plan our week. My mum has always been on hand to help out with the boys, which has been amazing. So we have a lot of support, which is great."
In Emmerdale, Robert's character, Damon, was killed by Charity Dingle last Christmas. He had come to the village to seek revenge on his daughter's boyfriend, Mackenzie, who couldn't decide between her and Charity. During a heated confrontation, Charity shot Damon, and in the aftermath, she struggled with severe flashbacks and PTSD. As for Chloe, she left the village and hasn't been in contact with Mackenzie since.
On Coronation Street, Jane's character, Leanne, has had quite the year so far. She got involved with a man named Rowan, who runs a cult called The Institute. Despite knowing that the organization is corrupt, Leanne is under Rowan's spell and sees him as a good man. This has caused tension between her and her sister, Toyah, who doesn't want her to be involved with the cult.
It's clear that Robert and Jane have a strong and loving relationship, and their careers in the soap world have only brought them closer. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple. This article was initially published on August 2, 2023.
