From Wiki...(I can't remember her arrival to be honest but it was hardly rivetting stuff...)
"Jane arrives in Walford, working on a candy floss stand at the funfair in Albert Square. She and Ian Beale argue but she helps out when the funfair collapses, moving to the Square and becoming good friends with Ian".
As far as I can remember Jane had a husband that was very ill then he died but Ian used to help Jane look after him. I am sure this is right but please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks I thought it was right. It was a long time before Jane would have anything to do with Ian.She felt so guilty with her husband being ill even being friends with Ian.
I don't think they liked each other to start with. Ian was forever complaining about her. I think he was slightly injured when the funfair collapsed and was worried about his kids. She told him to shut up moaning because they were safe and she'd take care of them.
