Poppy Morales was a barmaid and later assistant manager of the Rovers Return Inn from 2008 to 2009.
After just six months, Poppy was fired by Steve McDonald after she made an executive decision to dismiss 89-year-old barmaid Betty Williams for being too old for the job.
Biography[]
Poppy arrived at the Rovers Return Inn with friend Liz McDonald, who she had met at a Brazilian Crunch exercise class. Poppy caught Liz's attention as she was a well-known barmaid. She got offered the 'Assistant Manager' job which she accepted, following Michelle Connor hinting to Liz that she didn't want extra shifts. Poppy also offered to take on Betty Williams's shifts while she visited her son Gordon Clegg and his family in Wimbledon over the Christmas period.
One day, a couple were kissing in the Rovers, and Poppy jokingly grabbed Lloyd Mullaney to show what a "real kiss" was like. She unknowingly annoyed Liz, who had feelings for Lloyd.
In March 2009, Poppy was disgusted when she witnessed Dev Alahan leave the Rovers with Lisa Dalton, as it was clear that they were going to sleep together. She was stunned when Dev came into the pub the following day with his girlfriend Tara Mandal, who was oblivious to his infidelity. In order not to see her friend get hurt, Poppy told Tara about Dev and Lisa's night of passion. Poppy was given the sack from the Rovers in June 2009, after she fired long-serving Betty Williams. Betty complained to Steve and he tried to get Poppy to reconsider. Poppy then verbally attacked Steve and his girlfriend Becky Granger, which led to Becky dragging her out of the Rovers by her hair.
