Mrs Hathersage was a pathologist present at Weatherfield Crown Court in May 2010 as a prosecution witness at the trial of Gail McIntyre for the murder of her husband Joe.

Under cross-examination from Gail's barrister Mr Hughes, he got her to admit that the blow to Joe's head come have come from the swinging boom on his boat, not a blow from a rolling pin as the prosecution alleged, and that this may have caused a weakened state in which Joe would have been unable to drag himself out of the water in Lake Windermere, where he met his death.

Credited as "Pathologist", the character's name was given in dialogue.
