Mandy Whitworth went out with a young Kevin Webster in the summer of 1984. Mandy and Gill Collins planned a double blind date with Kevin and Terry Duckworth but they had a lousy time as they bought along Elaine Pollard who proved to be one person too many. Terry set Elaine up with Curly Watts to get rid of her and planned a foursome, but had to ask invite Elaine and Curly so that they could use Curly's lodgings at 3 Coronation Street as a party venue. Emily Bishop approved of what she thought would be a quiet evening in and put on a buffet for them but once she left the house it turned into a wild party.
A few days later, the six of them decided to spend the day on Curly's friend's barge. They were hoping to cruise along at speed but when they found out the boat couldn't go faster than 5mph everyone went to a pub instead, with Curly and Elaine staying behind to make sure the boat didn't get stolen. They ended up staying out all night as the motor conked out, although Mandy thought they might have drifted out to sea.
On another occasion, Curly held court in the Snug to an attentive audience of Mandy, Elaine and Gill as he told them about his UFO sighting which he'd been interviewed about on the radio. Mandy was also in the Street during the Pub Olympics, on the day that Kevin and his family moved into No.11, but she didn't take part in any events.
