Gill Collins

Gill Collins went out with a young Terry Duckworth in the summer of 1984. When Terry planned a foursome with Gill, Kevin Webster and Mandy Whitworth, they invited Curly Watts and Elaine Pollard so that they could use Curly's lodgings at 3 Coronation Street as they couldn't think of anywhere else. Emily Bishop approved of what she thought would be a quiet evening in and put on a buffet for them but once she left the house it turned into a wild party.

A few days later, the six of them decided to spend the day on Curly's friend's barge. Gill got Curly to agree to go by cutting his hair so that Elaine would fancy him. They were hoping to cruise along at speed but when they found out the boat couldn't go faster than 5mph everyone went to a pub instead, with Curly and Elaine staying behind to make sure the boat didn't get stolen. They ended up staying out all night as the motor conked out.

On another occasion, Curly held court in the Snug to an attentive audience of Gill, Mandy and Elaine as he told them about his UFO sighting which he'd been interviewed about on the radio. Gill was also in the Street during the Pub Olympics, taking part in the three-legged race with Terry, but they didn't win. Gill was also present in the Duckworth household when the TV licence company called and caught the Duckworths using a TV without a licence.
