Jacqueline Smith

Jacqueline Smith is a fictional character in the soap opera Beverley Terrace, played by Jennifer Metcalfe and created by Charlotte Smith. One of her first and most memorable storylines was her reunion with teen enemy, Candice McDowell (Shahnequa Duprey).

Creation and development
Jacqueline was created amongst further female additions to the cast list, with co-producer Charlotte Smith stating that she wanted to add some "glam" to the show, and fill in the missing gaps with the cast list that creator Ashley Rivera had drafted.

She was described as "a feisty brunette" by show bosses, stating that her callous nature evolved from her rich upbringing. Rivera stated that her past would be explored in the coming year, whilst adding that Jacqueline's parents will appear "at some point".

Criticial reception
Jacqueline was well received by fans of the show, though hoped that her character would be developed. Rivera commented on this, saying that she, amongst many others, would be explored in the coming year.
