Timeline

1959

Jan Pearson (born 12 April 1959) is an English actress.

Pearson grew up in Wollaston, West Midlands, and began her career in various stage productions.

Pearson was born on 12 April 1959 in Wollaston, West Midlands.

She learned ballet from a young age until she was 16 since her mother wanted her to be a dancer.

Pearson attended High Park School in Wollaston, then went to Kidderminster College to do her A-levels.

She studied biology in an attempt to be a surgeon, but failed, as well as not being able to pursue it due to having shaky hands.

Pearson then studied Combined Arts at the Crewe and Alsager College of Higher Education, where she learned theatre, dance, writing, fine art and music.

Her year was the first place in the UK to offer the course.

Pearson did not want to go to drama school as she was worried that the people would be "luvvies".

However, Pearson found that since most of the staff were fresh to their positions, the teaching was poor quality who did not offer real acting training.

After she left Crewe and Alsager, she applied to do a post-graduate course at the University of Bristol.

However, they could only offer her a place in a two-year course, and since she only wanted to study for one year, she turned it down and chose to work.

At the time, Pearson was living in Wales, working in bars and a paper factory.

She also worked in the Royal Exchange pub on Enville Street in Wollaston.

She was insistent on wanting to work in the acting industry and kept applying for positions.

Due to having no experience or contacts, she found it difficult, but eventually landed a gig playing a princess for £25.

She then worked as a dancer for a year.

Without an agent, Pearson made her acting debut in an episode of The Chief.

She then ventured into theatre and despite not having an agent, got numerous roles in stage productions.

These productions included: The Norman Conquests and Beauty and the Beast.

Pearson began to want to work in television, for which she garnered an agent.

1999

She yearned to work in television and was soon cast as Kath Fox in the BBC medical drama Holby City in 1999, a role she stayed in until 2004.

She then ventured back into theatre, before joining the BBC soap opera Doctors as Karen Hollins.

She was then cast in the BBC medical drama series Holby City in 1999.

Alongside her appearances in Holby City, she played the recurring role of Maggie Hayes in The Cops from 1999 to 2001.

She wanted to return to theatre, but found it difficult to enter back into the industry following her television appearances.

Pearson then appeared in films such as Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence and Terror! Robespierre and the French Revolution.

2004

She opted to leave the series in 2004 after feeling that her character had nowhere left to go.

2009

On 23 February 2009, Pearson made her debut appearance in the role of receptionist Karen Hollins in the BBC soap opera Doctors.

2010

For her role in Doctors, Pearson won the award for Best On-Screen Partnership twice alongside Chris Walker, at the 2010 and 2023 British Soap Awards.

Pearson left Doctors in 2023.

2012

In 2012, Pearson was nominated for Best Comedy Performance.

She was later nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actress and Best Leading Performer.

On 30 March 2023, Pearson made her final appearance as Karen when the character dies.

She explained that she wanted a break from her career after 14 consecutive years on the series.

Pearson admitted that she asked producers to kill Karen off, to which they were surprisingly obliging.

She was pleased with her exit scenes and stated: "they gave me a lovely death, actually – I was very pleased with it. Chris was extraordinary. It was great. I was very, very pleased."
