The Nurse was one of the medical staff who looked after Rita Fairclough when she was hospitalised at Weatherfield General following an assault on her by Alan Bradley. Alan had attacked Rita and tried to strangle her when she confronted him about the loan he took out on 7 Coronation Street in her late husband Len's name. Alan was interrupted before he could kill Rita, and fled the scene, but Rita had already sustained severe injuries to her face and throat and spent nearly two weeks in hospital recovering.
