Fran Hathaway

Fran Hathaway was the cellmate of Becca Dean in Longmere Prison, after Becca was imprisoned for engaging in sexual activity with a minor in December 2006. Fran branded Becca a "nonce" for her relationship with Justin Burton, which began when he turned sixteen (although Justin lied to the court that he was fifteen, resulting in Becca's arrested), causing the pair to feud. In February 2007, Becca was set to be released when Justin told the police the truth. She and Fran argued and a fight broke out, in which Fran pulled a blade and stabbed Becca. Becca ultimately died of her injuries and Fran received extra time in prison, despite already serving a life sentence.
In July 2018, Fran sent Becca's sister Nancy Osborne a letter informing her that she was dying. Nancy became stressed over the incident, which lead to an MS attack. However, Nancy decided to visit Fran against the advice of her husband Darren Osborne. At the hospital, Fran asked Nancy for forgiveness. Nancy told Fran's child Brooke Hathaway that she thought that Becca would have wanted Nancy to forgive Fran. Fran, pleased to be forgiven by Nancy, went into cardiac arrest and died.
Nancy decided to foster Brooke long-term, despite Darren's initial disapproval and Brooke's social worker's concerns. In November 2020, Brooke gave friend Yasmine Maalik Fran's necklace as "something borrowed" for her wedding.
