I don't see Gillians looks as a massive issue or insurmountable problem. Even in working class less affluent areas "glamorous grannies " sit alongside with less glamorous older ladies like Cora. Sure she'd have to watch not going too far but at this stage I don't think it's a massive obstacle. Cora is incredibly glamorous. Is it just me that thinks that It would be amusing if Kathy came back wearing all her 80's woollies. Didn't she used to sell her woollens on the market at one time? The market was so much more sophisticated and diverse in the past. I think Cindy had a hat stall. ETA Really excited about her return and not bothered at all about what she's wearing I don't mean that Cora isn't glamorous but she is less glamorous and /or youthful than Gillian Taylforth as Kathy compartively speaking. What's underpinning my point is that many people have said a youthful glamorous Kathy won't be plausible alongside her peers of a similar age who don't look as youthful and "glamorous ".I'm saying in reality glamorous youthful older ladies can and DO coexist alongside women who have these qualities less so.

Its not having an issue with her looks it is to do in keeping with the character of Kathy. She was pretty despite wearing dowdy clothes. It was always a point they made. It was even in her original write up by Julia. Why I liked her. She wasn't tarty, glamorous. She was pretty despite it. We don't have women like that on EE at the moment.
Kathy was never one for cosmetic surgery it wouldn't be something she would want. I am not knocking the actress but she looks younger than when she left and younger than her son. She has had a lot done which is fair enough. And if this was Footballers wives or Bold and the Beautiful yep would buy it. But her return is already something out of Sunset Beach without making her look like a woman from it. Ok they are stuck with the work she had but why the ultra expensive trendy clothes that Kathy wouldn't be able to walk in let alone wear? If she is 100% different why bother bringing her back? Surely the point is to bring who she is with it? But Kathy from EE? And then we have her begging Phil to ALLOW her to see her kids. Not that she couldn't as she asked but that Phil didn't let her! Sound like Kathy to you?

I guess we have to look at in the context of what the s/l will be for her returning, Phil telling her no I guess was to do with the shock of it and everything that happen to both Phil/Ben and well it not gonna be easy to explain thinking you mother been dead for 9 yrs, there a barrier stopping her returning so they need to explain this to make sense on why she had to ask Phil.
As for her looks there not much that can be done about the cosmetic surgery, while I agree it not the old Kathy, it's been a long time people change and so does people style I don't think she was overly glamorous she just looked more refined, when she played Sandy she dressed appropriate for someone her age and I don't see Kathy's style being much difference.
I can see why people are against this storyline, it's not what JS & TH would of wanted but then I doubt they would of killed her off in the first place, it's a big step and it could fail like a lead balloon but I'm willing to give a chance and tbh it the only thing I'm looking forward to atm everything else has been a let down, I won't mention the family as you probably get my drift but her return is the only thing making me want to watch atm.

Has she had more cosmetic surgery since being on Hollyoaks? I thought she looked perfectly normal on there and wasn't playing a particularly glamorous role. To be honest even when she was on Footballers' Wives she wasn't massively glamorous and she played an older Mum. I thought she looked just like a bit older Kathy on the live episode. I suppose she always looked a bit odd as Ian's mum as she was so good looking so that will just be continued I suppose. Anyway I can't wait for her return

I'm looking forward to her return.
But if she ends up in bed with Phil then please kill her off again.

I guess it depends why Phil has this hold or power over here? What the secret is?I agree in normal circumstances Kathy wouldn't beg Phil for permission to contact Ben or return to the square but Kathy's circumstances are anything but normal it seems...
