[edit] Storylines

Molly is the daughter of former local baker, Diggory Compton. It was revealed when she first began visiting Coronation Street that she was a victim of bullying at school, with one of the bullies being Fiz Brown, a Coronation Street resident. They later settled their differences.

She used to work for Kirk Sutherland whom she once pretended to have affections for, as her idea of revenge for the bullying she endured from Fiz during her school days. She is currently dating Tyrone Dobbs and lives with him and Jack Duckworth. After briefly working in her father's shop and at Kirk's kennels, she now works for Dev Alahan at D&S Alahans Corner shop. She was devastated when Vera Duckworth died naturally in January 2008.

After Vera's death, she and Tyrone bought the Duckworths' house and live there with Jack.

In May 2008, she decided to make her mark on the Duckworths' house by removing the stone cladding that Vera had got put on the front of the house during the eighties. Jack agreed with this move but Tyrone was not happy as he saw the cladding as a memory to the late Vera. Eventually as the builders proceeded to remove the cladding they informed her that the job would be much more expensive as the cladding was ruining the brick work as it was being removed. The cheapest option was for the cladding to remain on the house.
