She and Tom (Ryan Lampp) have left their Cox's Bay dream home for an apartment above K Road and Jaquie has been lending her C-grade celebrity status to a carpet factory to pay the bills.
"In this series I'm out in the celebrity wilderness, doing product endorsements, going on lame reality shows, all the degrading things I'll probably end up doing when the series is over," Brown explains of her characters current misfortunes.
Meanwhile, Serita has gone on to become one of TV3's most valued assets, has her own show coming out and a top 10 single.
"It's sort of like a parallel universe in which Serita has adopted all of Jaquie's achievements in this world," explains Gerard Johnstone, the series co-creator, co-writer, and director.
"She even has her own sitcom, which everyone thinks is brilliant, even though it's cheap, unoriginal and doesn't make any sense."
Now with her celebrity status disappearing right before her eyes, Jaquie's only chance to climb back up the media ladder is co-hosting a midday radio show with the equally bitter and even more disgruntled James Coleman.
"James and I worked together at Channel Z back in the early 2000's and we didn't get on," Brown says about the addition of Coleman to the series.
"It's been very therapeutic for both James and I to put these demons to rest for the sake of comedy," she adds.
But the fictional Jaquie's never been know to take things lying down, and with the help of friend and publicist Kim Sharee (Hannah Banks) she's now more determined than ever to get back on television.
