Josephine Madonna "Jo" Stiles (also Sugden) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Emmerdale, played by Roxanne Pallett. She made her first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 26 August 2005 and her last on 22 December 2008.
Jo Stiles arrived in the village as new receptionist at the vets' surgery and is soon noticed by the local men, especially Max King and Danny Daggert. Jo and Danny went on a date but they agreed he was far too tame for a bad girl like her. So with no potential boyfriends on the scene, Jo settled into her job and needing somewhere to live, moved into Connelton View with Dawn Woods and her son, TJ. After seeing chemistry between her new best mate, Dawn, and former flame Danny, Jo set the pair up. However, Jo’s carefree, single life seemed attractive to Dawn so she dumped Danny. Jo’s other attempt at matchmaking also went wrong when she tried to help her lonely boss, Paddy Kirk, by inventing a chatroom girlfriend for him called Fireblade. It seemed like harmless fun until Paddy booked a ticket to Portugal to track down Fireblade. When Paddy returned with vivacious Toni Daggert (Danny Daggert's cousin) on his arm, Jo knew she wasn’t Fireblade and became desperate to stop her taking him for a ride. The joke, however, was on Jo. Paddy had guessed what she was up to and he and Toni were winding Jo up to pay her back. to Jo was happy living at Connelton View but trouble was on the horizon when Scott Windsor arrived. He tried to seduce Jo but she wasn't interested but Dawn thought something was going on. Although they sorted it out, Dawn's mum, Jean Hope, evicted Jo because of her rent arrears. Feeling guilty that her mum hadn't given Jo much notice, Dawn arranged for her to move in with the Sugdens at Butlers' Farm as she knew they didn't have much money and could use Jo's rent. Jo soon developed feelings for Andy and they had an affair. They told Katie, ending the marriage on learning that Katie was not pregnant after all. After Katie left, Jo helped Andy run the farm and look after little Sarah. Jo continued to work at the vets' initially, but Hari sacked her as he was adding extras to people's invoices and didn't want Jo asking questions, as she did the accounts. Andy was pleased but Jo wasn't so Jo started her own business, making organic goat's cheese.
