Penny was an estate agent employed by first Mattersons, and later Ellis Cooke, who turned up with a client at the Elliott & Son butcher's shop in September 2011 at the same time Tyrone Dobbs, Kirk Sutherland, and Tommy Duckworth had Leon Southam locked in the fridge. Kirk managed to put the client off and Norris Cole who came in snooping around didn't help, which annoyed the agent.
In February 2012, she showed Milton Fanshaw around the same shop premises, as he was interested in buying it to expand Roy's Rolls into a larger steakhouse restaurant.
In June 2012, she escorted prospective purchaser Shirley on a viewing of 13 Coronation Street. Shirley was perturbed by an unpleasant smell in the house, which had been created by current occupants Tracy McDonald and Beth Tinker in a deliberate bid to sabotage Steve McDonald's attempt to sell the house from under them. Although aghast at the unkempt state that the two had left the house in, Penny put her bravest face on the sale as she continued to show Shirley around.
Just over four years later in August 2016, she met with client Nick Tilsley outside the vacant archway premises next door to Nick's Bistro in Viaduct Street. After viewing, Nick made an offer on the property, and Penny advised that she'd speak to the vendor and get back in touch with him as soon as she possibly could.
Tracy found herself being uprooted again in March 2017 when Penny appeared without warning on Rosamund Street and began taking photos of her business, Preston's Petals. When questioned, Penny told her that Peter Barlow had given her instructions within the last hour to put the shop and its flat on the market. Tracy discovered that Peter intended to buy the Rovers Return Inn from Steve and needed the funds to complete the sale. Two months later, Ken Barlow gave his stepdaughter the money to buy the shop outright from Peter.
- Always credited as "Estate Agent", the character's name was given in dialogue in her June 2012 appearance.
