Molly is the daughter of former local baker, Diggory Compton. It was revealed when she first began visiting Coronation Street that she was a victim of bullying at school, with one of the bullies being Fiz Brown, a Coronation Street resident. They later settled their differences.

She used to work for Kirk Sutherland whom she once pretended to have affections for, as her idea of revenge for the bullying she endured from Fiz during her school days. She is currently dating Tyrone Dobbs and lives with him and Jack Duckworth. After briefly working in her father's shop and at Kirk's kennels, she now works for Dev Alahan at D&S Alahans Corner shop. She was devastated when Vera Duckworth died naturally in January 2008.

After Vera's death, she and Tyrone bought the Duckworths' house and live there with Jack.

In April 2008, it was revealed that Molly's aunt Pam Compton would be coming to The Street on Tyrone's mothers return in Summer 2008.

In May 2008, she decided to make her mark on the Duckworths' house by removing the stone cladding that Vera had got put on the front of the house during the eighties. Jack agreed with this move but Tyrone was not happy as he saw the cladding as a memory to the late Vera. Eventually as the builders proceeded to remove the cladding they informed her that the job would be much more expensive as the cladding was ruining the brick work as it was being removed. The cheapest option was for the cladding to remain on the house.

In July 2008, Tyrone was advised by Jack to propose marriage to her in a fancy restaurant. Tyrone unfortunately did not propose at that moment. Molly later planned a surprise proposal to Tyrone and the two got engaged.

Tyrone let Molly meet his mum, Jackie in August 2008. Everything was all going to plan, until Molly and Tyrone found out that Jackie was in £1,000 in debt and needed the money to owe her husband's friend Brian, much to Molly's despair as Tyrone agreed to help her. They used their wedding savings to pay him off, but now Molly has no money to afford her dream wedding dress.
