Dibley came to public attention playing Elaine in ITV's The Two of Us, a sit-com about a co-habiting couple opposite Nicholas Lyndhurst.[2] In 1993 Dibley played the part of Linda in The Gingerbread Girl a series about a single mother trying to raise her daughter. She then played Lorna Cartwright in the BBC soap EastEnders. However it was reported that she decided to quit the show because she was uncomfortable with the plans for her character, where the script writers proposed Lorna became a prostitute and then end up getting raped[citation needed]. Dibley agreed an exit strategy, and the scripts rewritten.
