Biography
Dot Todd was the daughter of Jack and Vi Todd, and had a brother Jim and a sister Sally.

Dot lived in Weatherfield during World War II, when she and Elsie Tanner enjoyed entertaining the American soldiers stationed in Burtonwood.

Eventually Dot married Walter Greenhalgh and got a job at Miami Modes with Elsie. Despite being married, Dot flirted with other men and was open to the occasional fling. When wartime flame Gregg Flint returned to the country in 1967, Walter was suspicious of Dot and Gregg seeing each other and went to thump Gregg, but instead he hit Steve Tanner, Elsie's boyfriend. Gregg got the message and was scared off anyway.

Dot was generally only seen in Coronation Street to see Elsie, as she didn't know anybody else. In 1963, she thought she was to be promoted at Miami, but Christine Hardman got the job. Dot was given the supervisor's job in 1966, but left the shop to work at McAverty's Department Store in 1968, in the lingerie section.

In 1969, Dot was back at Miami when Walter finished with her. Dot moved in with Elsie but when Elsie was caught with a Dot's bag which contained stolen dresses, Dot let Elsie take the blame. Dot even admitted her guilt to Elsie, and begged her to keep her out of it. They both lost their jobs, and never spoke to each other again.
