After training with RADA and working on stage , television and film , Noel played Ida Barlow , the first major character to be killed off in " Coronation Street " . She joined the programme believing that the show was only going to run a few weeks . When it was renewed through 1962 , she quit and her character of Ida died when she was struck by a bus , an plotline that pleased the actress who was adamant that she did not want Ida to die of a heart attack . She continued to act after leaving the programme and was a regular guest actor in television programmes until the mid 1990s , including the " Street " spin - off " Turn out the Lights " in 1967 .

After Mark wormed his way out of trouble , Jean offered the men a car to get them started with the racing , leaving them to pick it up from Casey ' s Autos .
