She is a police officer who helps solve the case when corrupt DC Simon Cavanagh is stalking Colette Graham and Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy).
Judith Roberts, portrayed by Jane Hogarth, was Sarah-Louise Platt's (Tina O'Brien) midwife during her pregnancy with Bethany (Amy and Emily Walton).

He first arrived late due to the arrangement being last minute, but was very popular with staff members, Bobbi Lewis (Naomi Ryan) and Karen Phillips (Suranne Jones).
Karen continued to try and please Harvey by bringing him coffee and talking about clubbing in London, but Bobbi told Janice Battersby (Vicky Entwistle) that he wasn't interested in her.
Amanda first appears when she and her brother, Gregory Stephens (Philip Bird) are introduced to Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) by their father, who has recently started having an affair with her.

[17] Eve Sykes (also Elliot) is the bigamous "wife" of Fred Elliott (John Savident), she first appears at the funeral of her son Dean (Ciarán Griffiths) in October 2000.
This caused Sarah's best mate Candice Stowe (Nikki Sanderson), who was holding her goddaughter, to hand Bethany over to Roy Cropper (David Neilson).
As Jenny held Josh, she and Sarah comforted Candice, who went out with the much older Vikram Desai (Chris Bisson) and felt embarrassed when he discovered her real age.
She was last mentioned in November 2009 by Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) to his wife also called Molly (Vicky Binns), while listing all of Kevin's relationships with women.
In 2006, Matt returns to Weatherfield, wanting access to Joshua and is married to a woman called Sylvia, indicating that he and Charlie had split up and divorced in the intervening years.
He visits Roy and tells him that he is investigating the Underworld factory roof collapse as a health and safety inspector, which killed Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia).
Wayne is convinced that Roy's close friend and lodger, Carla Connor (Alison King) is responsible for the roof collapse, and interviews all people who had a role to play in the roof's eventual collapse, including Carla, Gary Windass (Mikey North), Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
He also rules Gary out of his inquiries, after Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) bribes him into not mentioning that he knew the roof was unsafe in order to protect Carla.
Simon used to meet David and his father, Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) in The Rovers Return public house when they began to allow children in.
This incident didn't help the two boys' case when they were accused of setting the Underworld factory alight on Bonfire Night, as they had stolen one of Les Battersby's (Bruce Jones) damp fireworks.
