In an interview with the BBC, describing her character, Sian said: "Kath works as a mobile hairdresser in a retirement home, she loves her job and gets to spend her day gossiping with the residents and her best friend Gladys, played by Sheila Reid.

"She is an eternal optimist, full of life and definitely wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s not had the most blissful upbringing and is prepared to fight for what she wants. She also loves a bit of double denim."

A former member of the Theatr Clwyd youth theatre, Sian is best known for her collaboration with comedian, Peter Kay, who she shared the screen with in BAFTA Award winning series, Car Share.
