I'm sure I've seen Jack's female friend in Coro before... played a wife of one of Jack's pigeon-fancying mates if I recall? It's starting to bug me now Laughing


She's played 4 different characters in Corrie over the years.


She was also in Children's Ward for years.

That's where I've seen her! and in Early Doors..possibly..? I might be wrong on the latter.

It was in today's Metro (Scotland) that she's appeared in it numerous times. First as a taxi driver, then as a barmaid in the Rovers when Vera and Jack ran it, then in the Chip Shop, and finally as a pigeon-fancier who fancied buying the B&B from the Duckworths.

A kind of one-woman identy-theft spee in Weatherfield!!

That was designed to stop Stuart Plymouth from fast forwarding through the Dev scenes.

How funny, just turned up the volume on tonght's Corrie episode 2 and and in the scene with Jack and previously mentioned pigeon fancying female woman and I could definitely hear Kym 'Ryder'-Marsh's version of Monday Monday from her Hear'Say days, she has quite a distinctive voice and it was deffo her, just an observation that's all....oh and loved the line about being hit by a tram when crimper lady was stood up by Braveheart. Good eps tonight!

Children's Ward, that's it! And Threads as well... bleakest thing I've seen on telly-- even more depressing than an Eastenders Christmas special Wink Who did she play on Coro-- I'm sure she has been in it recently (other than this week!)?

Ah, of course! I remember her being in Children's Ward. It certainly is nice to see Jack having found someone to 'keep him company'; to me he's always looked slightly lonely since Vera died.

Also - could it be that The Sun jumped the gun somewhat when publishing that 'Betty Is Sacked' article, as yesterday Betty and Poppy seemed to have brushed it all under the carpet!
