When Gail first started on Corrie, she was the best friend of Tricia Hopkins. She and Tricia were very similar characters. After Brian Podmore wrote Tricia out, he brought Suzie in. Suzie was sharp, but with a heart, like the sidekick to a female lead in '30s movies. They were a great double act, living with Elsie Tanner, who was like a mother figure to them.

Podmore wrote Suzie out when Gail got married (expressing some guilt as he did not know Murray had just bought a house). He brought her back, briefly, several years later for a very unpleasant stint where she tried to seduce Gail's husband and left town with a slap from Elsie. Sadly, that was the last viewers ever saw of her. 

Murray did some acting afterward, but her MS led to an early retirement. 

She was a treasure, and I'm sorry for how few Corrie fans will ever know her.
