Chrissy Rogers (née Morgan) is a fictional character in the Channel 4 soap opera Brookside played by Eithne Brown from 1987 to 1991. She was married to Frank Rogers, and they had two daughters, Sammy and Katie, and a son, Geoff. She left in 1991 on the collapse on their marriage, but briefly returned two years later after Frank's death in a car crash.

In 1989 she becomes a school governor.^[1] In 1990 Chrissy attempts to mobilise the neighbours in to protesting against the building of Brookside Parade near their homes, a campaign that is ultimately fruitless. Later in the year she is made redundant, however later gets a job as a school secretary.^[1]

Reception[]

In 1998, writers from Inside Soap published an article about the top ten characters they wanted to return to soap. Chrissy was featured and they described her as "Katie's strong-willed mother who outgrew her marriage to Neanderthal truck driver husband, Frank."^[2]
