Brack with Shirley Stelfox at the 2002 British Soap Awards.
Bracken is a canine actor who portrayed Batley, a dog owned by Edna Birch (Shirley Stelfox). Notably for an animal performer, the character's tragic death in 2002 won the Best Exit at the British Soap Awards, and so Bracken attended the ceremony with his on-screen owner Shirley Stelfox.[1]
