Vera Hopkins
Married: Idris Hopkins
Children: Tricia (f: Idris Hopkins)
Played by: Kathy Staff
Appeared: 1973 - 1975
Vera was the acceptable face of the Hopkins family, being a committee
member at the Community Centre, though she was admonished by Annie
Walker for allowing her young daughter Tricia
to go into The Rovers dressed to the nines and order alcoholic
drinks. She was dominated by her husband's mother, Megan,
and the two frequently rowed, whilst foundry-worker Idris
tried to get some sleep when he worked nights. Soon after renting
the Corner Shop from Gordon Clegg,
Vera had to go and look after her sick mother.
When Vera's mother died, she returned with a large inheritance
and Megan welcomed her back with open arms - but Vera was horrified
by the way Megan treated some residents, and furious when Megan's
attempt to blackmail Gordon Clegg meant they were evicted in April
1975.
