| rdfs:comment | - Phyllis Pearce (née Grimes) was the purple-haired, gravel-voiced pensioner who worked at Jim's Cafe from 1984 to 1989. Phyllis arrived in Coronation Street in 1982 after tracking down her errant son-in-law's father - Chalkie Whitely, who was caring for Phyllis's grandson (and only living relative) Craig. When Chalkie and Craig emigrated to Australia, despondent Phyllis remained a familiar face in the area through her job at the cafe. By 1998 Phyllis was still alive enjoying her retirement at Mayfield with Percy Sugden and Maud Grimes.

| abstract | - Phyllis Pearce (née Grimes) was the purple-haired, gravel-voiced pensioner who worked at Jim's Cafe from 1984 to 1989. Phyllis arrived in Coronation Street in 1982 after tracking down her errant son-in-law's father - Chalkie Whitely, who was caring for Phyllis's grandson (and only living relative) Craig. When Chalkie and Craig emigrated to Australia, despondent Phyllis remained a familiar face in the area through her job at the cafe. One bonus of staying local for Phyllis was that she could be close to fellow pensioner Percy Sugden. Percy was the object of Phyllis's affections and she doggedly pursued him for many years, despite an obvious lack of interest on Percy's side. Young at heart, Phyllis typically presented an upbeat attitude, enjoying the pleasures she had left in life rather than dwell on the negatives. She enjoyed her work and was disappointed to be forcibly retired from the cafe in 1989, although she did put in the occasional shift as a favour to owners Alma Sedgewick and Gail Tilsley afterwards. In 1991, Phyllis got a new job as Des Barnes's housekeeper, which she greatly enjoyed and while she usually stayed out of Des's private life, which involved a string of love affairs, she did sometimes give him a talking-to when she thought he needed it. Phyllis moved into a retirement complex at Mayfield Court in 1996. By 1998 Phyllis was still alive enjoying her retirement at Mayfield with Percy Sugden and Maud Grimes.
