Jack Hunt

Jack Hunt is the oldest aged character in Dixon Lane.

Who is Jack Hunt?
Jack Hunt was born in 1957 in London and moved to Ainsley village when he was eighteen. He met the girl of his dreams, Dianne Raynott, at the Ainsley Bird Watching Society - where the pub is now located. After being together for a few years, they started a family. Alex and Gavin Raynott were born. However, Jack developed an addiction to alcohol, so he left the family home to try to deal with it (which he did kick his addiction successfully) But it wasn't all good as when he returned home two years later, Alex and Gavin had considered themselves Raynotts instead of Hunts. This hurt Jack a lot, so Jack and Dianne split up as a consequence.

Dianne started up a business, after she bought the premises of the Ainsley Bird Watching Society, but she was struggling for money. Dianne had heard that Jack had a lot of money, that she should have been given in the first place, so after an emotional legal battle, Jack gave her the money. This was still not enough to cover Dianne's debts so Jack bought the business off her and revamped it - this made Alex and Gavin respect their father again - but not change their last names back to Hunt. After about five years of Jack running the café and Dianne leaving the village, she came back - Jack and Dianne got back together and re-married.

Dianne started working in the pub again, and they lived happily alongside each other as a family until one night, they were closing up when an intruder came in. Dianne tried to shout for help, but the intruder stabbed her multiple times and left. Jack came rushing down from the flat, and Dianne died in Jack's arms.

Nathan Green then helped and supported Jack in the next few years after Dianne's death, until Jack's nephew, Harrison Hunt and Jack's brother, Stanley Hunt came back - also grieving. Harrison and Stanley instantly hated Nathan, as they believed that he was getting in the way. However, Jack and Nathan remained friends.

This all changed when Jack's own nephew brutally beat Nathan to death, causing Jack more misery when that meant Jamie Green would go into the care of Will Ashton.

Jack was then kidnapped by his son, Gavin - who then locked him in the barn in Scotland, where Harrison Hunt kept him prisoner. Harrison then let Jack go free, but murdered Gavin. All Jack has ever wanted is a nice and respectable family, although that's quite hard when he has a family of Psychopaths.
