Kerry Skinner breezed into Albert Square in October 2000, bringing with her a mix of charm and a knack for stirring the pot. As the daughter of Eddie Skinner and great-niece of the beloved Ethel Skinner, Kerry’s arrival was sure to make waves. Quickly befriending Zoe Slater, Kerry wasted no time in getting acquainted with the locals and settling into life in Walford.

Kerry’s love life was a whirlwind, to say the least. She briefly dated Robbie Jackson and, in a move that surprised many, got him to pop the question. But just as the Square was buzzing about their engagement, a twist came to light – Kerry had already got engaged to another man named Darren while on holiday. Talk about keeping your options open! Needless to say, things didn’t work out with Robbie, and Kerry found herself in quite the pickle. The allure of something more exciting beckoned Kerry away from Walford – and broke Robbie’s heart in the process.
