Claire Sweeney & Sam Kane

Lindsey & Peter Phelan 1999

Brookie – and a little stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2001 – made a star out of Claire. Lindsey, however, had a rockier life during her

time in the Close, with divorces, a flirtation with lesbianism

and a period as a gun-toting gangster just a few of the highlights. Here she is in a quieter time, marrying hairdresser Peter Phelan. An affair with Barry Grant -– whom she wed at the end of the show’s run – saw the marriage break down.
