I was gutted when Pat Phoenix died a wee while later. <br /><br />Elsie's departure was the first of three great losses in 1984. Albert Tatlock's last appearance was 25 Jan 1984 and Stan Ogden's last one was on 7 March.

Tony Warren broke the mould when he came up with Elsie but I also think that it was Pat's portrayal of her that made Elsie such a memorable character and soap icon, a perfect match of actress and role.
