Gene Hunt's Wife (also referred to as Mrs Hunt) was the spouse of DCI Gene Hunt in 1973 until she divorced him at some time prior to his transfer to Fenchurch East division in London, for an unknown reason. Because her husband worked overtime at Stopford House police station, she was rarely seen by his colleagues (and never by the audience). It is presumed that her husband did not tell her of his death and his purpose in Gene Hunt's World.
