[edit] Character History
Mrs. Burgess was the teacher of Belle Dingle and we first saw her when she sent a letter to Wishing Well Cottage wanting to see Belle's parents. However Belle intercepted the letter and persuaded her uncle Shadrach to pretend to be her dad. When Shadrach was at the meeting he discovered that Mrs. Burgess was a former flame of his, he recognised her from an old picture she had at her desk. Shadrach didn't waste anytime in trying to start things up but she had no interest. Mrs. Burgess soon discovered that Shadrach wasn't Belle's dad and she set up a meeting with Zak and Lisa. The Dingle's were upset that Belle was having behavioural problems. Zak and Lisa declared that Belle would start to behave but when she removed a security block on the computers Mrs. Burgess and the principal wanted to suspend her which led to an argument with Zak and he pulled Belle from school. Mrs. Burgess has made several appearances since than trying to persuade the stubborn Dingle patriarch to let Belle return but he wouldn't go back on his decision.
