Noreen Maltby

Noreen Maltby is a retired elderly English holiday maker who lives in Lancashire. She was a regular visitor at the Solana Benidorm. 
== Biography ==
Noreen Maltby is the mother of Pauline Maltby and Geoff Maltby, the latter of whom is adopted. 
=== Series 1—5 ===
In 2007, Noreen and Geoff came to the Solana hotel in Benidorm for the first time. She helped Geoff train for the pub quiz in Neptune's Bar, which he ultimately placed second in, much to his anger. Both Noreen and Geoff returned to Benidorm again the following two years.
In series 3, Noreen accidentally thought that Geoff was gay and announced this to the entire hotel before performing "YMCA". Geoff refused to speak to her following this and arranged to live with Chantelle Garvey when he returned to the UK, although he did repair his relationship with Noreen.
Noreen returned to Benidorm in series 4, this time with her daughter Pauline, who had recently had a divorce from her husband Bashir Mahmood.
With Geoff wanting to become more independent and Pauline not wanting to return, Noreen came back to Benidorm alone in 2012 but did not find it as enjoyable as the previous four years and decided not to return.
=== Series 7—10 ===
In series 7, Noreen decided to come back to Benidorm with her son Geoff, who had broken up with Chantelle. They were joined by Ionela, Geoff's new Romanian girlfriend who was evidently a gold digger. While stuck in an elevator, Noreen revealed to Geoff that he was adopted. Noreen and Geoff came back in 2016, this time with Pauline as well.
In series 9, Pauline's controlling boyfriend Malcom Barrett followed the Maltby family on their holiday to Benidorm, leading to a confrontation between the Maltby's (backed up by Kenneth Du Beke, Mateo Castellanos and Neville) and Malcom. 
The following year, Noreen was surprised to find out that her twin sister, Doreen, had also come to Benidorm with her boyfriend, who was actually Malcom. Using her telepathic connection with Doreen, Noreen was able to sense that her sister and Pauline were in danger and informed undercover police officers Nigel and Dennis, who arrested Malcom.
