- Donna Jackson is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Holby City, played by actress Jaye Jacobs. She appeared in the programme from its sixth series in 2004, to its thirteenth in 2011, and from its nineteenth in 2017. Donna entered the series as a staff nurse, characterised as a wild-child with a chaotic personal life. During her tenure, she grew to take her work more seriously, becoming a ward sister and accepting more personal responsibilities by adopting her half-niece Mia (Jada Wallace-Mitchell). A tart with a heart character, Donna had many romantic liaisons with her colleagues, including a one-night stand with midwife Mickie Hendrie (Kelly Adams). She ultimately fell in love with agency nurse Kieran Callaghan (Barry Sloane), and departed to be with him after he was injured in Afghanistan as part of the Territorial Army. Jacobs' casting was chronicled in the documentary Making It at Holby. She made appearances as Donna in both Holby City's sister show Casualty, and two crossover editions of the programmes, broadcast as Casualty@Holby City. After seven years, Jacobs resigned from Holby City in order to pursue new projects. The character's reintroduction was announced in February 2017. Donna's relationship with her terminally ill father Derek (Clarke Peters) attracted praise from critics. Her affair with married consultant Michael Spence (Hari Dhillon) proved less popular, with several critics opining that Donna deserved better treatment. She was named "Best Emerging Talent" at the 2005 Screen Nation Awards for her portrayal of Donna, and was nominated for two further awards while part of the series. (en)

- "I've played Donna for six years, and she’s a part of me, but she's changed a lot. She used to be quite comical; she had the bumbling one-liners and she was quite physical – there was a lot of bumping into stuff and falling over, having naughty nookie in confined spaces. Now it's getting a bit more serious. She's adopted a child, her niece Mia, and now that she's a sister, she needs to be more responsible." (en)
