Template:4 March

4th March 1968: Len Fairclough barged into No.11 to confront Elsie Tanner, who hadn't spoken to anyone in the Street since her return from the USA. He was disgusted to find Elsie had let herself go and was living in a squalor. In December, Elsie had emigrated to the US, the homeland of her new husband Steve. Elsie told Len that she had left Steve, as she had felt isolated among Steve's family and friends in the US and Steve hadn't supported her. When Steve volunteered for a post in South America, leaving Elsie by herself, Elsie had returned home. She sorrowfully admitted that Steve was a swine and had told her that they shouldn't have married. Having exorcised her demons, Elsie was ready to face the world again.
