abstract
| - Alma Marie Halliwell (previously Sedgewick and Baldwin) was the owner of Jim's Cafe in Rosamund Street and the long-suffering wife of Mike Baldwin from 1992 to 1999. Alma's first husband was Jim Sedgewick and she got the café in the divorce settlement in 1982, but it wasn't until 1989 that a cash-strapped Alma started working there full-time with co-owner Gail Tilsley. Alma was hardworking and a loyal friend but she was led by her heart and in 1989 she set her sights on factory owner Mike Baldwin. They had a relationship but it wasn't until 1992 that they walked down the aisle, Alma putting aside her doubts about Mike's trustworthiness. During the marriage, Alma had frequent disagreements with Mike over his underhanded business tactics. Mike would sometimes try to appease Alma but the marriage was often a battle of wits, with Alma trying to get one over on Mike after he dismissed her opinion. Keen to prove she was just as capable as Mike, Alma started her own catering business and sold her share of the café to Roy Cropper in 1996, putting the money into Mike's new factory which he opened after selling his garage to Don Brennan at an inflated price. When Don's life then spiralled out of control, he blamed Mike and in 1997 kidnapped Alma in his taxi and drove into the River Irwell. Both survived. Alma then moved onto pastures new, getting a job at Freshco supermarket and divorcing Mike after finding out about his affair with Julia Stone. She died in 2001 from cervical cancer aged 55, which was already in its final stages when she found out about it. Her friends in the Street were Gail, Audrey Roberts, Hayley Cropper and Ken Barlow.
