Celia Smethurst Celia Smethurst , along with her friend Maggie Lincoln , were two church - going friends of Emily Bishop who attended a charity Butler Auction in the Rovers in March 2015 in aid of church funds , along with several other parishioners . Emily was nervous of the ladies ' reactions if the proceedings were a bit ribald and asked compere Sean Tully to keep it as clean as possible . She also asked the others in the bar to mind their profane utterances and Liz McDonald and others constantly found themselves apologising when the odd oath slipped out . Norris Cole also had to apologise when he compared the auction in the pub to " " and Mary Taylor had to explain to them that it was a film . Finding out who Norris was , the two ladies , who had heard of him from Emily , immediately burst into laughter , discomposing the little man . Maggie won Kevin Webster in the auction while Celia bagged Tyrone Dobbs , explaining that it would save them the cost of a car service each and leading a tipsy Sean to make a comment about the two mechanics fiddling under their bonnets . Emily apologised once more but the two happy ladies told her not to be concerned as they were both fans of the " " films though Sean was not pleased to hear himself compared to a young . The ladies were later surprised when Norris put in a bid of £70 for Sally Webster as they had heard him described by Emily as a " penny - pincher " and someone who could " squeeze a pound coin so tight that the Queen ' s eyes bleed ! " An outraged Norris immediately upped his bid to £100 . They did get confused though when Michelle Connor stepped on stage to propose to Steve McDonald , thinking it was part of the auction . Four months later , Celia and Maggie both attended the funeral of Deirdre Barlow with other members of the One o ' clock Club . They said that they were there as they had been friends of Blanche Hunt but it quickly became apparent that they were really there as , like Blanche , they spent a disproportionate amount of their leisure time in ghoulishly attending every funeral in the vicinity . As Kevin was at the funeral , they made a beeline for him and at one point he was even goosed by the supposedly religious ladies . " En masse " , they all made a beeline for the buffet at the wake in the Rovers and started to fill up tupperware boxes that they had brought with them with the food until they were roundly told off by a hungry Amy Barlow . The ladies were delighted though as they were delighted to recognise the character of Blanche coming through in her great - granddaughter ' s words . List of appearances . 2015
Magistrate ( Episode 563 ) The unnamed Magistrate and his two colleagues tried Ena Sharples on a charge of the theft of two tins of salmon ( priced at 4 / 6 each ) from the Pick - a - Snip Supermarket in April 1966 . The Magistrate was confused that her address was also her place of work and snapped at her when she refused to give her age to the Magistrate ' s Clerk . After Ena admitted that she was 66 , the Magistrate told her that she had the choice or trial before them or the Crown Court . Ena chose trial before him and his colleagues and declared that she was not guilty . Ena interrupted store manager Mr . Snape ' s evidence though the question she put to him from the dock as to where he had been standing when he witnessed the theft was grudgingly allowed by the court . She then took the witness box and told the court that she had no idea how the items came to be in her bag , admitting somewhat tearfully that she just didn ' t remember . When questioned about her income , she told the Magistrate that her only income was her widow ' s pension of £4 per week and that she refused national assistance as being a charity . He grew annoyed at her when she snapped at him , reiterating her mental block as to what happened . The verdict was guilty and the Magistrate sternly told her that she had set a bad example to others but as it was her first time before the court , and taking into account her previous good character and her age , she was only fined 40 / - and given an absolute discharge . He went to admit that the crime seemed out of character and against all the beliefs she had demonstrated throughout her life .
