Life and career
Watson was born on 13 September 1953[2] in Maesteg[3] and brought up in the Derby area.[4] Talking about her parents in an interview with the Casualty fansite, holby.tv,[2] she comments that they were fantastic and devoted. She cites this as reason why she feels so torn between career and family. She is married to the writer, David Harsent; they met at a dinner party and eventually married in a registry office in Fulham. They have a daughter, Hannah, born in 1990 and Watson says of her that she is their "greatest born and blessing."[2]
Watson studied Drama and English at Exeter University.[3] Her previous jobs included founding a Community Centre in Newcastle and working in Education at the Nottingham Theatre.[2] In addition to her acting roles, she edited anthologies of poetry and readings for weddings, funerals and naming ceremonies.[3]
