Jane Mancini, played by Josie Bissett, is a fictional character from the 1990s prime time soap opera Melrose Place and its 2009 revival.
When the series starts, she is married to Michael Mancini and works in a clothing boutique on Melrose Ave.
In Los Angeles, Jane and Michael serve as the apartment building's superintendents as well as having separate careers.
A major plot point for Jane and Michael in the first season is their inability to find time to be together and manage their busy work schedules.
Shortly after being robbed at gunpoint several episodes later, Jane leaves Melrose Place and moves back to her hometown of Chicago.
At the aftermath of her sister's death, Jane meets Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy), but actually threatens to show the police incriminating e-mails Ella sent Sydney unless the publicist makes her client wear one of Jane's designs, hoping to make a comeback after her boutique burned down years ago (in an arson fire, which implies, but never fully explains, that Jane may have set the fire to her own boutique to collect a fire insurance payment).
Jane briefly returns in episode "Santa Fe" to check up on Amanda to make sure that Ella pays for pulling the red carpet under her.
