The beloved soap opera, Coronation Street, recently provided an update on one of its most notable characters, Janice Battersby. Janice, a mother to Toyah and wife to the lazy Les, was a regular on the show from 1997 to 2011. Her departure from the street was a result of her falling for her lodger, Trevor Dean, and the two leaving to travel the world. However, it has been revealed that she has since settled in Liverpool.
Janice was last mentioned when Toyah shared with Nick Tilsley about her stillborn baby, Rose, which she had buried in North Cross Park in 2001. When Nick asked how Janice and Les didn't notice, she explained that they were too caught up in celebrating a bingo win. Recently, Toyah has discovered that she has cancer but has chosen not to tell Janice.
In a recent episode, it was revealed that Janice's absence was due to Toyah's diagnosis with germ cell ovarian cancer. Leanne, Toyah's step-sister, questioned whether Toyah had told Janice, to which Toyah responded that she hadn't and didn't plan to, as she wanted to deal with it on her own. Leanne, who is currently involved in a dangerous cult, took this literally and advised Toyah to emotionally disconnect from the situation.
Janice made her first appearance on the show as Les's wife, but their marriage did not last. She later clashed with Les's new wife, Cilla. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that we will see Janice on the show again, as she made some critical comments earlier this year about the show's storylines. In a tweet, she expressed her disappointment in the show's handling of Toyah's stillborn baby and how it has become the highlight of the show's tea-time slot.
This is not the first time that Vicky has shared her opinion on the show's episodes, as she also criticized the writers involved in the heartbreaking death of Oliver Battersby, Leanne's son, in 2020. However, she later apologized for her words, describing them as "childish and hurtful."
