Lindsey Corkhill

Lindsey Corkhill (previously Stanlow and Phelan) was a character in Brookside from 1991 to 2003. She was the daughter of Jimmy Corkhill and Jackie Corkhill. She was their eldest child. Lindsey got involved with the nasty Finnegan family, especially Callum Finnegan. Lindsey was played by Claire Sweeney.

1991-2003
Lindsey was Jimmy and Jackie's daughter.

In 1997, Scottish gangster Callum Finnegan wanted to get back at enemy Barry Grant through his girlfriend Lindsey. He kidnapped Lindsey.

Lindsey gradually became more invested in The Millennium Club. Callum and his brother Alasdair Finnegan wanted the club. Lindsey stole money from the Finnegan's to buy a share in the club. Rose Finnegan, the wife of Alasdair, found out and gave her until 1st December to pay them back. Callum found out about Lindsey stealing the money and terrorised her. In August 1999, he had a bomb planted at the club. It went off, killing a few people including Greg Shadwick. A few weeks after the explosion, Callum gave Lindsey 7 days to leave the nightclub, either that or he would have her killed. Lindsey wanted someone to kill Callum so she hired an elderly hitman called Victor, aged about 70. But Callum got to Victor first and killed him.

Callum held Lindsey hostage at her house and got Annette, one of his door women to beat her up. Lindsey stole money to pay the Finnegan's back but it was not enough. Rose told Alasdair, and Alasdair said he should have Lindsey finished off but there is another way.

However that also means she still owes them £57'000 and the £30'000 there is compensation expenses, according to Alasdair. He would put in a customer lliasion officer at Lindsey's nightclub. This mean the security guard would provide the punters with drugs and he will charge Lindsey £2000 a week for the facility but says that will seem like beer money when the drugs sell well. Either that or a funeral for Lindsey. Alasdair said the interest on the £57'000 would add up every day and could take her years to pay that off at £2000 a week. Lindsey had to agree to this or she would be pushing up daisies.

This arrangement was short lived when Alasdair and Rose were killed in June 2000. Callum returned to kidnap Lindsey with Dave but Dave shot Callum dead. Lindsey was finally free from the Finnegan's for ever.
