List of My Family Characters - Main Characters - Janey Harper

Jane Elizabeth Laura Harper (previously Rochester) is the only daughter and of Ben and Susan, the younger sister of Nick and the older sister of Michael and is known to be rather shallow. She is a shopaholic and is very concerned with her clothes and physical appearance. Much to Ben's dismay, she is sexually promiscuous and becomes pregnant at 19, becoming a single parent. She named the baby Kenzo although her original choice of name was "Prada-Handbag" according to Susan. She later married Ches Rochester, a man old enough to be her father, but asked for a divorce on her wedding day. She also develops a bad headache when she goes without sexual intercourse for more than two weeks at a time: this causes her to become very aroused and to chase after any man she sees.

She temporarily left the cast in series 4 after going to the University of Manchester to study Communications in series 3, from where she drops out during the fifth series and returns to live near the rest of her family. She later becomes a health care worker, and is left a flat for her and Kenzo by a pensioner she cared for who recently died.
