 The concept of the two female loves of Jekyll/Hydes life,  aristocratic Beatrix Emery and barmaid Ivy Petersen, actually  originated in the original stage version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.  Hyde", as adapted by T.R. Sullivan for the great 19th century stage  actor Richard Mansfield (III) (qv). The Stevenson novella mentions  no female love interest of any sort for either Jekyll or Hyde.
