Ivy Joan Tilsley (also Nelson and Brennan) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Coronation Street, played by Lynne Perrie. She was originally credited as Ivy Tyldesley. Ivy worked as a machinist at Mike Baldwin's (Johnny Briggs) factory, and was elevated to supervisor. Her best friend was Vera Duckworth (Liz Dawn). In the 1975 episode where the factory was burnt down, Ivy mentions that she is childless and her husband's name is "Jack"; before that, her husband was called "Wilf Tyldesley", and before that "Arthur". Jack himself made two appearances in 1975. By the time she became a street resident and a more regular character, her husband was named "Bert" and they had an adult son, Brian (Christopher Quinten).
As well as being the mother of Brian, Ivy is the grandmother of Nick Tilsley (Warren Jackson, Adam Rickett, Ben Price) and Sarah Platt (Lynsay & Leah King, Tina O'Brien) and the great-grandmother of Bethany Platt (Amy & Emily Walton, Lucy Fallon), Billy Platt and Harry Platt. Ivy's storylines have included her feud with daughter-in-law Gail Tilsley (Helen Worth), losing her husband and son and her relationship with Don Brennan (Geoffrey Hinsliff).
