Gillian Taylforth was originally considered too glamorous for the part, but once the producers heard her gravelly voice they decided she was perfect.

She's always been one of the best looking ladies on the Square.

I just took it as maybe £1000-£1500. Enough for Dean to pay for a flat deposit, and a few months rent, maybe some cheap furnishings. That certainly wouldn't be enough for him to give up his fishmonger stall.

Kathy is just like the old days to be honest.

Watch this scene. There is a breif interaction between Grant and Michelle which I've included for nostalga and lols, then it goes to Kathy chatting to a man, just like she does these days. Only difference is she wore more knitted jumpers back then.
