Jack Evans, played by the identical twins Samuel Timson and Joseph Timson, is the son of Barry and Natalie Evans (Shaun Williamson and Lucy Speed). He has a traumatic breech birth early in 2002. He is named after Natalie's younger brother. Jack initially lives with his parents, his grandfather Roy (Tony Caunter) and Roy's wife Pat (Pam St. Clement), but moves out of Albert Square in March 2003 following his parents' divorce. Barry is devoted to Jack and agonises over the fact that he cannot be a full-time father to him.
Jack's father meets an untimely demise early in 2004 and, as no will is in place, Barry's new wife Janine (Charlie Brooks) inherits all Barry's money and assets, leaving Jack with nothing. When Jack's mother discovers that Janine was responsible for Barry's death, she leaves Walford for a new start with Jack. Before they depart, Natalie and Jack plant a tree on the Square in Barry's name. Jack's last appearance is in May 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words jack and/or evans:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””
—State of South Dakota, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat.”
—Harold Evans (b. 1928)
