In one of the most emotional twists ever seen on The Yorkshire Vet spin-off series At Home With The Greens, viewers were left in tears as beloved farming couple Jean and Steve Green faced something they had never experienced in 45 years of marriage: a night apart.
Jean, 73, was admitted to hospital for surgery, leaving her 96-year-old husband Steve alone at home for the very first time. The separation shattered him — but their reunion was nothing short of magical.
Peter Wright, the show’s star and longtime friend of the couple since the 1980s, recalled the moment: “They were like two lovestruck teenagers. They had never spent a single night apart. The second she walked back in, they curled up by the fire together as if nothing had changed.”
Jean’s Fiery Spirit Shines Through
Despite her operation, Jean wasted no time proving she hasn’t lost her spark. In one unforgettable episode, she shocked everyone by dragging Peter along to get her very first tattoo — leaving Steve, the traditionalist, in disbelief. Years earlier, he had even joked that he’d throw their daughter out if she ever came home inked.
The Heart of the Show
“The Greens are the heartbeat of the series,” Peter added. “Jean is wild, unpredictable, and full of adventure, while Steve is gentle, thoughtful — and deeply romantic. He used to write poems for her while sitting on his tractor.”
From fiery debates to tender reunions, their story continues to touch fans across the globe. Viewers from as far away as Australia send gifts and letters, with Jean delighting in unwrapping parcels filled with biscuits, coffee, and even kangaroo plushies.
Love That Never Grows Old
Through laughter, tears, and even hospital stays, Jean and Steve Green prove something truly timeless: even after nearly a century of life, love never gets old
