Biography
Early Life
Josie met Mitchell in 1969 when he took her hostage following he and Herrick's murder of two women in her apartment block in London. Mitchell spared her life after she confronted him about his lack of desire to kill. Josie subsequently helped Mitchell temporarily go clean and they dated for a while.
Series 1
In 2009 Mitchell again encountered her in the hospital in Bristol where she was undergoing treatment for terminal lung cancer. It was revealed she had married and moved to the city with her late husband upon his retirement. She warned George of the vampires' plans after Mitchell asked Herrick to recruit her. She visited Mitchell in hospital following his attack by Herrick and offered her blood (meaning her life also) to help him recover from the stake in his heart; she was found dead the next morning.
Trivia
- While it is initially suggested that Josie met Mitchell in a casual social context such as at a bar (Episode 1.6), the circumstances of their meeting are shown in a series of flashbacks in Series 2 (Episode 2.5). It is unclear if this is a continuity error.
