Reception
In a book written about Women and soap opera, Ena was described as "brusque and uncompromising, refusing to adjust to the changing times." Ena has also been described as "a Coronation Street prototype, a strong, bossy woman."
Actor Michael Melia has claimed in an interview that he thought the character of Ena was "the most forbidding face on the street. A harridan in a hair-net with a surly expression that could stop a grown-man in his tracks."
