She is in her early mid-twenties and works at a bank in Oxford. Joan is introduced in the second episode of Series 1 and in the final episode of Series 1.

She goes out on a date with DS Jakes who takes her to the Moonlight Rooms nightclub in Oxford. While dancing Jakes fondles her but she brushes him off and is escorted home by Morse.

She runs away at the end of Season 3, and is shown later in the last episode of Season 4 “Harvest” as living in with another man.

Things toughen up when her father Fred visits her and roughs her partner up.

Joan visits Morse at his flat. It becomes apparent that her boyfriend has attacked her and told her to leave. She tells Morse that she does not know what to do.
