Character Relationships in Keeping Up Appearances

Daisy (played by Judy Cornwell) appears in Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth's cheerful, working-class sister. Despite Hyacinth's attempts to distance herself from her roots, Daisy's naturally pleasant and unpretentious demeanor easily wins over the upper-class acquaintances Hyacinth tries to impress. Onslow (played by Geoffrey Hughes) appears in Keeping Up Appearances. Daisy's husband, characterized as lazy and unkempt ('bone idle'). He frequently arrives in a distinctive clapped-out car, and while Hyacinth tries to hide him, he shares a surprisingly good rapport with Richard. Emmet (played by David Griffin) appears in Keeping Up Appearances. Elizabeth's brother who moves in after a divorce. A musician who is terrified of Hyacinth because she constantly sings out-of-key at him to secure parts in his productions, mistakenly interpreting his fear as romantic infatuation. Rose (played by Mary Millar) appears in Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth's sister, portrayed as highly sexually aggressive and promiscuous. Her overt behavior frequently causes Hyacinth significant embarrassment and threatens the carefully constructed upper-class image she strives to maintain.
