Doreen Fenwick (previously Thompson) was an old showbiz friend of Rita Sullivan. In February 2007, Doreen entered The Kabin in search of Rita. Whilst waiting for Rita to arrive, she flirted with all the male customers, which annoyed Rita's business partner Norris Cole, whom Doreen was initially disliked by, having insulted him upon meeting him. Doreen persuaded Rita several times to meet up with her, and they went to see things such as shows together.
