Hilda Ogden character jug produced by Carlton Ware in 1986. Hilda Ogden is a fictional character from the British TV soap opera "Coronation Street", one of the best-known of all the regular characters in the serial, whose name became synonymous with a classic hard-working Northern working-class woman. She was played by Jean Alexander from 1964 to 1987. For much of her period as a character in the Street, Hilda worked as cleaner of The Rovers Return Inn.
A gossip and busybody, many of her storylines were used for comedic purposes, though the character was equally used for dramatic effect; a scene in which she wept over the spectacles of her recently deceased husband Stan has been hailed as one of the most moving images in television history.
