Ivy Joan Tilsley (originally credited as Ivy Tyldesley, also Nelson
and later Brennan) is a fictional character from the British soap
opera Coronation Street. Played by Lynne Perrie, Ivy first appeared
on-screen on 14 June 1971, initially on a recurring basis, before
becoming a regular in 1979. As the character continued development,
Ivy's stringent religious beliefs would become a synonymous part of
her storylines on the show.Before becoming a regular character, much
of Ivy's backstory is inconsistent; in her early appearances her
husband was referred to as "Arthur", "Wilf" (with the surname
"Tyldesley") and "Jack" (Bert Gaunt), who went on to appear in the
show in 1975, after Ivy had stated she and Jack were childless. By the
time she became a street resident and a more regular character, her
husband was named "Bert" (Peter Dudley) and they had an adult son,
Brian (Christopher Quinten).Ivy is the grandmother of Nick Tilsley
(Warren Jackson) and Sarah Platt (Lynsay and Leah King). Storylines
have included her quarrel with Brian's wife Gail (Helen Worth), losing
her husband and son; and forming a relationship with fellow resident
Don Brennan (Geoffrey Hinsliff).
