I'm not entirely sure if she's completely blind or partially. Anyway, her name is Lizzie and I think she met Laurel whilst they were both doing Community Service. She's a petty criminal and was previously friends with Lisa Dingle.
The Lady is Blind and is the first blind person to appear on any of the British Soaps ,the other answer is correct ,if you watch her closly you will see that she steals like a magpie ,leave it and it will be gone .
She has added a bit of a sparkle to a show that is getting very boring,I have read that Happy Sugdon is leaving the farm and there will be a new family ,I for one hope they hurry up .
Cheers to all Emmerdalions X
in a mo: If you saw last night episode where Andy was losing it in nothing but boxers and socks, then you would only want to keep this hunk in the show!!!!
