Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the 1980s, Mickey's mother met Jackie Tyler, Sarah, Suzie and Bev and, every Wednesday night, they all went out for wine and chips and named themselves the "Wednesday Girls". At some point she met and married Jackson Smith. (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"])

As her relationship with Jackson deteriorated, Mickey's mother relied on the "Wednesday Girls" to cheer her up for the one night of laughter of the week; other nights were darker. Jackie would later say that Mickey's mum "could never really cope with money, with men, or anything really" (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"]) and Rose said that she "just couldn't cope".
