BIOGRAPHY: GGlendale’s local busybody, Hilda has a voice so piercing it could shatter glass and an uncanny knack for jumping to the wrong conclusion. Often spotted with a Harvey’s Bristol Cream in hand at The Oak & Vine, she’s infamous for airing everyone else’s dirty laundry. Yet, beneath the sharp tongue, meddlesome nature, and somewhat alarming habit of singing four notes out of key, Hilda has a heart of gold. She can brew the perfect cup of tea without fail and is generous with her time and support and is fiercely loyal. She’s guided by a strong moral compass, always standing up for what she believes is right, and is unwaveringly protective of those she cares for – less so those who she has little time for (looking at you, Brian Granger).

Married to Arthur Hollingsworth for nearly fifty years, Hilda’s world revolves around family. She would move mountains for her four children, dotes endlessly on her grandchildren, and cherishes her bond with her big sister, Pamela Granger.

With Hilda around, you’re guaranteed the hottest tea – both brewed and gossiped – and a friend whose support you can always rely on… unless, of course, you’re Brian Granger.
