Irene Madden

Irene Madden is the mother of Simon Madden.

From her first appearance in The Woolpack in March 1979, Henry Wilks immediately showed an interest in her. He gives her a whiskey on the house and offers to help her move into her new house, which she reluctantly accepts when Henry pops round. Henry invites Irene over for a coffee the next day, leaving Amos Brearly feeling awkward around them. Amos is annoyed when Henry keeps blowing him off without a word, and begins spreading gossip. This leads Irene to tell Henry that she isn't looking for a relationship as she's still struggling to get over her twenty year marriage to her late-husband, and the pair decide to remain good friends.

''Irene lived in 5 Demdyke Row, however Demdyke Row was destroyed in the plane crash of 1993. It is unknown whether Irene still lives in the village or is even alive.''
