Marge was a toffee-nosed landlady of The Flying Horse. In 1989, Marge took on a recently-separated Bet Gilroy as a barmaid. Briefing the former Rovers landlady before her first shift, Marge made sure she knew who was boss, instructing Bet in a patronising manner on keeping the pub clean and not being too familiar with the customers, dismissive of her years of experience at the Rovers due to the Flying Horse catering to a "different type of client". Just glad to be back working, Bet took the woman's thinly-veiled disdain on the nose.
