Olive Woodhouse is a friend of Peggy Mitchell's whom she has known since childhood. She is a dress fitter and first appears fitting Stella Crawford's wedding dress in April 2007, and criticises her taste, making her angry.

She returns on 5 March 2009 to fit Peggy's wedding dress and she takes an instant dislike to Peggy's niece and future stepdaughter Roxy. The wedding dress she creates for Peggy is slightly provocative and Peggy's fiancé Archie sees the plans and purposely walks in, seeing Peggy in the dress, making her want to change it in fear of bad luck. She then notices Janine Butcher following Archie and grows suspicious, thinking they are having an affair. She asks Archie, who then tells her that now they are paying for another dress, he wants to make some changes making the new dress less revealing.

She returns again in 2010, when Peggy, Roxy, Roxy's sister Ronnie and Ronnie and Roxy's mother Glenda arrive at her bridal shop to find a dress for Ronnie's wedding to Jack Branning. Olive feels insulted when Roxy insults the dresses. When Ronnie finds a dress she likes, Olive returns with them to The Queen Victoria to make adjustments.

Famous quotes containing the word olive:

    For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.
