Chrissy Rogers (née Morgan) is a fictional character in the Channel 4 soap opera Brookside played by Eithne Browne from 1987 to 1991. She was married to Frank Rogers; they had two daughters, Sammy and Katie, and a son, Geoff. She left in 1991 on the collapse on their marriage, but briefly returned two years later, after Frank's death in a car crash.
Character
[edit]Chrissy was a fairly politicised character known for her left wing views, which were often similar to those of Bobby Grant. In 1989, she becomes a school governor.[1] The following year, Chrissy attempts to mobilise the neighbours in to protesting against the building of Brookside Parade near their homes, a campaign that is ultimately fruitless. Later in the year, she is made redundant; however, she later gets a job as a school secretary.[1]
Reception
[edit]In 1998, writers from Inside Soap published an article about the top ten characters they wanted to return to soap. Chrissy was featured and they described her as "Katie's strong-willed mother who outgrew her marriage to Neanderthal truck driver husband, Frank."[2]
