Summary
Bianca arrived in Walford with the Jackson clan. She always had a thing for older men, and started an affair with David Wicks, but was shocked to discover he was her birth father! She later married Ricky, and had a son, Liam, by him, following the abortion of a daughter with spina bifida.
Bianca ran a clothing stall in the market, but spent most of her time either nagging Ricky about something, complaining to best mate Tiff, or planning some devious trick to play on whomever she currently didn't approve of. Unfortunately, a former boyfriend, Dan Sullivan, reappeared on the scene, as her mother's new fiancée, and they had rekindled their earlier affair. When this was discovered, Carol and Ricky both threw her out, and she left to go to college in Manchester, where she was reportedly studying fashion design. However, a later special episode revealed she had gotten involved with drugs, and, subsequently, gave custody of son Liam to Ricky.
Unfortunately, life has not treated Bianca well since she arrived back the square in Spring 2008, with a "gaggle of kids in tow". Since returning, she has had to deal with letting her boyfriend - Tony - back into her life, after being released from prison. However, she was left destroyed and heartbroken to find out that he had been sleeping with her step-daughter Whitney since she was 12.
In Detail
Bianca is the first of Carol Branning's four children, all by different fathers. Carol finally settled with Alan Jackson, and her children took his name.
Through Carol, Bianca has two half brothers and a half sister: Robbie Jackson (father: Gary Bolton), Sonia Fowler (father: Terry Cant) and Billy Jackson (father: Alan Jackson). Through Sonia, Bianca also has a niece, Rebecca Miller.
Her father
Early on in her original tenure, Bianca seduced David Wicks — unaware that he was her biological father. Suffice to say, when Carol revealed that fact, the affair ended.
Through David, Bianca has a half brother, Joe Wicks and had a half sister, Karen, who died in a car crash. Their mother is Lorraine Wicks.
Children
Bianca fell pregnant by Ricky Butcher but was forced to abort her daughter, Natasha, when it was discovered she had spina bifida. She later fell pregnant again and gave birth to Liam on Christmas Day 1998.
When she returned to the Square in 2008, Bianca had had two more children, Tiffany Dean (everyone thought her father was Nathan Dean, but is actually Ricky) and Morgan Jackson-King (father unknown). She also cares for her ex, Nathan's daughter Whitney Dean.
Extended family
Bianca is related to the vast Beale and Branning families. Through David, her grandparents are Pete Beale (1945-1993) and Pat Evans. Her maternal grandparents are Jim and Reenie Branning.
Ian Beale is her uncle through Pete, and Simon Wicks through Pat, making Steven, Lucy, Peter and Bobby Beale her cousins.
She has three aunts and two uncles through Jim and Reenie: April, Derek, Suzy, Max and Jack, and their children Rebecca, Kevin, Bradley, Lauren, Abi, Oscar and Penny are therefore also her cousins.
Relationships
As mentioned above, she and David Wicks had a brief relationship. A one-night stand with Lenny Wallace caused Bianca a number of problems — among them an STD- and pregnancy-scare. Ricky - Bianca was married to Ricky Butcher from 1997 to 2000. Dan - Bianca rekindled a previous romance with Dan Sullivan, then her mother's boyfriend, the revelation of which ended her marriage and caused her to leave Walford.
Since we last saw Bianca in 2002, she has has at least two significant relationships. One with Nathan Dean, who died in a car crash in 2003 and the other with Tony King, who was arrested last year.
Work
Bianca currently works at the cafe which Ian Beale owns. Although she mostly seems to either get sacked by Ian all the time or takes part of the day off for family emergencies.
Storylines since 2008
Since coming back on the square, Bianca has been in a number of storylines, some more dramatic than others. The most dramatic storyline which also involved her current boyfriend at the time Tony King and her adoptive daughter Whitney Dean. Bianca found out that Tony and Whitney had been having sex on October 31st 2008 even though Whitney was underage and had been going on for a number of years. This caused Bianca to call the police and have Tony arrested.
Another storyline she had was Tiffany's parentige. In early 2009 Bianca told Ricky that Tiffany may be his daughter (conceived years earlier in Manchester). Ricky did a DNA test and the result proved that Ricky was indeed the father.
