Jill Morris

Jill Morris was a young girl who was fostered by David and Irma Barlow over Christmas 1967 while her mum was ill. The Barlows were surprised when they met Jill as they were told they were getting a boy and had bought Christmas presents for "him" accordingly! Jill was well behaved, giving the couple no trouble, although they had to talk her round when she refused to go to sleep on Christmas Day.

The neighbours were also friendly to Jill, although when Dennis Tanner started talking to her about Santa Claus and his toy factories, Jill turned to David and cheekily asked if Dennis was a bit soft!

Jill returned home when her mother came out of hospital just after Christmas. In October 1968, she turned up at the Corner Shop out of the blue, looking for the Barlows. She was upset to learn that they'd emigrated to Australia and that Maggie Clegg now owned the shop. With Jill's mum in hospital again, Hilda Ogden wanted to take Jill in but Stan wasn't so keen. Hilda had to hide Jill in the spare room but Stan was fine with it when he found out, even taking her along on his window round. Cliff, Jill's mum's boyfriend, soon arrived to take her back home.
