Sandra Butler

Niece of Elsie Tanner and sister of Bernard Butler Sandra, played by Patricia Fuller was briefly a resident of Coronation Street in late 1969, early 1970.

She arrived in Weatherfield with her brother both hoping that by staying with their Aunt they would be able to cheer up and distract her from the fact that both her children had now grown up and moved away from her. She took a job at Alan Howard's hair salon and became romantically involved with Ray Langton, taking advantage of the Leap Year tradition by proposing marriage to him.

Langton accepted the proposal but suggested that they hold off the wedding until he was entirely recovered from the acident that had recently incapacitated him. She was upset when Langton employed an old flame of his, Audrey Flemming as his secretary.

Langton fully recovered the use of his legs and set a wedding date of 23rd May 1970, but the wedding was cancelled when it was revealed that Ray had been seen kissing Audrey. The engagement over Sandra left the street behind.
