Edith Wilton was the daughter of Lionel and Amy Wilton and sister to Derek and Doreen Wilton.
Edith first arrived in Coronation Street during August 1984 for her brother Derek's engagement party to Mavis Riley. She later returned for Mavis's hen party before making an appearance at the wedding. However, both Derek and Mavis got cold feet about the ceremony and decide to jilt the other - this caused Edith and Rita Fairclough to argue over who jilted who. Edith didn't attend her brother's later weddings to Angela Hawthorne in 1985 and finally to Mavis again in 1988, where they finally wed.
Edith returned for a final time in April 1997 following Derek's death. She made it clear upon her arrival that she had always disliked Mavis and preferred Angela.
