Isa Drennan

Isa Drennan is played by Jane McCarry. Isa is another resident of Osprey Heights. She is known as the local gossip and will stop at nothing in her quest to find out the latest news. Isa also works as a cleaner in Navid's shop. Isa has an estranged husband named Harry who frequently carried out illicit affairs with younger women. In "Dug" and "Hoaliday", she had a pretend relationship with Winston; although unrequited, Isa has a secret flame for Winston but her obsession with gossip and tendency to be nosy often sabotages her chances. Isa is heavily involved with community projects and charities, attends dance classes and helps others in the community. Winston maintains this is her way of keeping in touch with people to 'keep on tap with everyone's business'. In the episode "Gairden", she mentions her son Colin, who bought her a mobile phone in case of an emergency. Despite the fact that many people outwardly profess to be annoyed by Isa, she is still regarded as a vital member of the community, with the other pensioners immediately leaping to defend her if they feel she is being treated unjustly.

In "Balls Up", Isa mentions that her father was the manager of a junior football team. She is shown to be a practicing Roman Catholic in the episode "The Fall Guy".
