Melanie Wright

Melanie Wright is the fiancee of Anthony Gibson. Despite Anthony's mother taking a liking to Melanie, Anthony's father didn't like Melanie and told Anthony that if he wanted to remain apart of the family, he had to break off his engagement. Anthony broke off the engagement and John sent Anthony to England to search for a new partner. However, Anthony planned to fool his father by bringing a British woman back, whilst remaining engaged to Melanie. Anthony planned to introduce Mandy Dingle as his new girlfriend. Melanie worried about Anthony falling for Mandy but Anthony described her as a "dag" and assured her that John would freak when he met her. Melanie thought this plan was unfair on Mandy, but Anthony revealed that Mandy managed to get herself upgraded by saying that she was his fiancee so she is pretty much fine with it.
Despite being told by Anthony not to, Melanie auditioned as a fiddle player for The Woolpackers, certainly catching the eye of Terry Woods. As she plays her fiddle for them, Vic and Terry praise her.
Melanie was secretly jealous that Anthony went out to dinner with Mandy, and rejected Anthony's suggestion to meet up and said she already had plans. Vic suggests that they finish up practice and go have a look at the nightlife.
Anthony is shocked when Melanie turns out to be the band's stand-in violinist, but the pair are soon kissing (in private). Melanie still feels bad for Mandy as she's a really nice girl and mad about Anthony. Mandy catches them and runs off, and Melanie makes Anthony go after her and apologise.
