James "Jamie" Hope is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Emmerdale. He was played by Alex Carter and first appeared onscreen on 16 February 2006. On 8 February 2010, Carter announced that he was quitting the show, citing his reason that he found the Emmerdale filming schedule too exhausting.
Jamie is the second child and oldest son of Bob Hope. Jamie's mother was Bob's first wife Jean. When Jamie was born he already had an older sister, Dawn. After initially walking out and divorcing Jean following Dawn's birth, Bob went back to her after Jamie was born. They remarried but Bob was unable to make the marriage work and walked out again leaving Jean to raise Dawn and Jamie alone in Spain.
Jean and Dawn arrived in the village in February 2003 but although Jamie was mentioned by name by Bob, Jean and Dawn, he didn't arrive in the village until 2006.
It took Jamie a long time to come to Emmerdale. He felt his father Bob had abandoned him and his sister Dawn when they were children and although she had managed to rebuild her relationship with Bob, Jamie wasn’t sure he could. The marriage of Bob to his fourth wife Viv proved enough of a draw to get Jamie to let bygones be bygones. When they met, it was immediately clear Jamie and Bob were cut from the same cloth.
Even though he had decided to attend the wedding, Jamie changed his mind and realised that he couldn't forgive his father after all. He punched his father at the reception when Bob had a go at his mother Jean, causing Jamie's resentment to boil to the surface again. Jamie told Bob he could never forgive him. When Jamie flew back to Spain, Bob was saddened. He had wanted another chance to get to know his son so much but it seemed all was lost. So when Jamie arrived back a few weeks later, Bob was overjoyed.
However, Jamie wasn’t after a reunion with his father. Pretending to be the dutiful son, Jamie tried to con Bob out of £2,000 to pay off an ex-girlfriend who was keeping his dog, Snoop, hostage. When Bob rumbled Jamie’s plan, he was heartbroken. He threatened to cut Jamie off forever if he walked away with the money and after much soul searching, Jamie decided he wanted to get to know his father after all.
