1995-1999[]
Judy and Gary Mallet moved into Number 9 Coronation Street in October 1995. Judy was feisty and fiery. Gary was a bit of a layabout. Judy longed to have children, and when teenager Zoe Tattersall was pregnant in 1997, Judy wanted to buy their baby. However Zoe gave birth and she bonded with the baby, and Judy was devastated. However she soon discovered that she was pregnant herself. Judy slept with her boss Paul Fisher for £2000. In June 1998, Judy and Gary had a row when she told him about Fisher, and he left her. Judy and Gary soon reconciled, especially as she was pregnant. Judy gave birth to twins Billy Mallett and Becky Mallett on Christmas day 1998.
In September 1999, Judy was involved in a minor car crash with Vera Duckworth, and unbeknownst to Vera, in a dodgy car just sold to her by her son Terry Duckworth, and Judy injured her leg. It caused a blood clot, and it went undetected, and it was to lead to fatal results for Judy when the clot went to her heart. While complaining of constant pain in her leg, she collapsed in the back yard of No 9 when hanging washing out and Emily Bishop found her later on. Gary was at a wedding of his neighbours Ashley Peacock and Maxine Peacock, and had to rush home after being informed, and he cradled her lifeless body in his arms.
It transpired that she had been dead for about an hour by the time she was found. Gary was devastated. Terry Duckworth knew the car was dodgy, a cut and shut, but he stole the car and had it crushed, thus the police could not prove anything.
