Chrissie Williams

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chrissie Williams is a character in the popular television series Holby City; originally a Ward Sister, she was promoted to the post of Clinical Matron in 2006.

Chrissie is currently the longest-serving character in Holby City, having been in it since the third series. Chrissie has had a lot of memorable storylines in her five years. She has enjoyed an endless string of affairs, her conquests include the late Mr. Alistair Taylor and her boss Michael Beauchamp.

Chrissie is the daughter of Charge Nurse Mark Williams and Staff Nurse Tricia Williams – or so it was thought. At the time of writing, Chrissie does not know that she is in fact the product of a rape: her now deceased paternal grandfather Frank having forced himself on Tricia at the party to celebrate her engagement to Mark. This means that Frank is in fact Chrissie's biological father and her father Mark is actually her half-brother.

Chrissie eventually discovered that Mark was not her natural father, and Mark and Tricia managed to hide the truth about the awful circumstances surrounding her birth from her. Following Tricia's death in November 2006 from serious injuries sustained in a car accident, only Mark now knows the full story. However, as secrets have a habit of coming out in the end, it is only a matter of time before Chrissie learns this appalling truth; how she will react when she finds out remains to be seen...

Chrissie is played by Tina Hobley.
