Geena Gregory was played by Jennifer James.

Geena arrived when her friend Vinny Sorrell needed help in the Rover's Return. She was well qualified for the job, and her good looks and cheeky banter made her popular with the customers. She was maid of honour at her friend Linda Sykes's wedding to Mike Baldwin and although she knew about her affair with his Mike's son Mark Redman, Geena remained loyal to Linda and said nothing.

Geena had a complicated love life. Dev Alahan proposed to her but her mother, Jill, was determined to put a stop to it and set him up with Karen McDonald. Her plan failed and Geena broke off their engagement when she discovered he had cheated on her with his employee Deirdre Rachid during Christmas 2001. She was soon seduced by handsome former prison convict, Joe Carter, and the two enjoyed a fun relationship until a jealous Dev goaded Joe into beating him up.

Joe was scared of going back to prison and admitted he loved Geena. By this time, she had completely fallen in love with him and agreed to talk to Dev. He then told Joe to end his relationship with Geena publicly and he would drop the assault charges against him. Joe did so and Geena was left shattered and humiliated by two men who claimed to love her and fled the street after saying her goodbyes to her friend, Shelley Unwin.

Famous quotes containing the word gregory:

    Who does not know that kings and rulers sprang from men who were ignorant of God, who assumed because of blind greed and intolerable presumption to make themselves masters of other men, their equals, by means of pride, violence, bad faith, murder, and almost every other kind of crime? Surely the devil drove them on.
    —Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)
