19 March

Elsie Tanner prepares to dump Dan Johnson's belongings on him.

19th March 1980: Elsie Tanner found herself in the unusual position of offering digs for lorry drivers in the spring of 1980 after she took on Ian McAllister for the night. The one-off arrangement went well and cheerful cockney Dan Johnson was her next customer. However this developed into something more than a landlady/lodger arrangement and Elsie thought she had another romance on her hands. What she didn't know was that Dan had a girl in every town and his roving eye soon settled on Bet Lynch. Dan made his excuses to Elsie that he was going out with an old friend for the night but when she was putting out the milk bottles at 11 Coronation Street, she saw Dan dropping Bet off at the Corner Shop flat. In an instant she collected his things and threw them at him in the street, telling him that she never wanted to see him again. The next day, her temper no calmer, she went for Bet in the Rovers...

Josie Clarke in 1995

Josie Clarke was a short-term Coronation Street resident who moved into No.5 with Don Brennan after his marriage to Ivy ended. In 1996, Josie and Don were scammed into buying MVB Motors at an inflated price by Mike Baldwin, who employed Josie as office manager at his factory Baldwin's Sportswear. When the garage went into receivership due to Don's poor business decisions, Don turned against Josie, causing her to leave him. Away from Don, Josie's life improved and as of 1997 she was married to a doctor.
