- Ena Sharples was one of the original characters of the long-running British soap opera, Coronation Street and her name became a byword for a "battle axe" woman. This has caused battle axe personalities to appear more in soaps, such as Hilda Ogden, Blanche Hunt, Vera Duckworth, Lou Beale, Pauline Fowler and Annie Sugden Sharples, who appeared in the series between 1960 and 1980, was the caretaker of the mission hall, and spent much of her time criticising the activities of the street's other inhabitants. She was one of the main characters during the 1960s, she was featured less regularly in the 1970s, and was written out in 1980. Almost always wearing a double-breasted coat and hairnet, she spent much of her free time in the series' early years with her two cronies, Martha Longhurst and Minnie Caldwell, in the snug bar of the Rovers Return Inn, drinking milk stout. When the final episode featuring Sharples was screened, it attracted little media or public attention as the producers intended her to continue in the series, as the character was merely leaving her house in the street and moving to care for an ill friend: Henry Foster. Unfortunately, all subsequent storylines involving Ena Sharples had to be scrapped owing to Carson's ill health. Violet Carson died in December 1983 at the age of 85.
