Queenie Trott is the mother of Heather Trott. Queenie is a controlling woman, who prefers Heather to be at her beck and call. She regularly taunts, insults and demeans her daughter, always calling her by the name "Pig", but she does not react kindly to those who might want to lure her away. When Shirley Carter asked Heather to move out of her mother's flat and into hers, Queenie manipulated Heather into staying. Queenie claimed she was pleased to see her daughter leave, but then pretended to have an accident and Heather was so concerned for her mother's safety that she decided not to move out. However, Heather later heard Queenie laughing about her deception to a friend on the phone, mocking her daughter's stupidity, calling her a "stupid cow." Heather was so angry that she decided to move in with Shirley after all, only to find that Shirley had been evicted as she'd failed to pay the rent. Not wanting to remain living with her spiteful mother, Heather decided to pay the rent with money she had in her savings account. She sneaked back to Queenie's to find her savings book, but discovered that her mother had stolen most of her money.

She turned up on Heather's doorstep on 16 March 2008 to meet Heather's new fiancé, Minty Peterson. She blackmailed Minty and Heather, saying she would not leave unless they gave her their winnings from the wedding competition they were in. Heather revealed to Minty that Queenie had told her that her father walked out on them because he hated living with Heather. Minty then encouraged Heather to stand up to Queenie, which she did, prompting Queenie to leave.

Queenie later tried to stop Minty and Heather's wedding, revealing Heather's true identity to Marni from the magazine. Heather married Minty and later berated Queenie for trying to ruin her happiness, and Queenie left.

Queenie was mentioned in December 2008 when Heather stated that she wasn't surprised when Queenie hadn't sent her a Christmas card, and again in February 2009 when Heather assumed that she was at George Michael's house and reminded herself of her school days, being a fan of George, with Queenie bringing her down of her happiness.

Queenie is mentioned in October 2009, when Heather gave birth to a baby boy whom she named George, after George Michael. Heather phoned Queenie to let her know that she is a grandmother, but was unsurprisingly let down after she took low opinions of the birth. In 2011, Heather tries to visit Queenie but a neighbour tells her that Queenie moved to Eastbourne a few years ago, and that she wasn't worth Heather's time looking for. When Heather is murdered in 2012, Queenie does not attend her funeral.
