Explains why we never saw Norris and Cliff Michelmore in the same room, In the unlikely event of your being under 50 (or so) then just google him eh ?

I can't really see what anyone sees in Maria, scratchchin she's fairly plain, has zero personality, just a little girl really...very wooden.

Now Eva, she has a bubbly personality, massive norks and is thick as two short planks.

What's not to like?
An ex boss of mine once snogged the actress who plays Maria, or so he says!

Never mind the clamping, what about Superstud? Poor Roy - is it all over, or has he misunderstood ?

Ah, sorry, I understand now.

At the time of typing I hadn't seen the episode, just finished watching it.

Yes, my mistake, Derek was married to Angela, and later married Mavis Riley.

From Corrie wiki:-

Norris Benjamin Cole was born on 5th March 1940. His mother Eunice had put his older half-brother Ramsay up for adoption, but he returned in 1960 after tracking her down. Eunice died the following year, which left a devastated Norris to blame Ramsay, a grudge he held against him for many years.

Norris was a salesman and married Myrtle Hargreaves but later left her and moved in with Derek and Mavis Wilton in the 1990s after picking him up and driving him home when Derek's car broke down. They became rivals and Norris once played a prank on Derek by kidnapping his gnome Arthur and sending ransom notes. When Derek found out after finding Arthur in Norris' cupboard, he drove him to the wrong church on Norris' wedding day to Derek's ex-wife Angela, where Derek was the best man. He attended Derek's funeral in 1997 after he died of a heart attack.

In 1999, Norris reappeared in Coronation Street and having briefly lodged with the Duckworths, he moved in with Emily Bishop and got a job at The Kabin working for Rita Sullivan. Norris became a cowardly gossip and got into scrapes, especially with serial killer Richard Hillman who intended to murder Emily. In 2009, Ramsay came back after fifty years to make amends but Norris wasn't having any of it, and Ramsay died later from a brain tumour when returning to Australia. Norris used the money from Ramsay's will to buy The Kabin as Rita was retiring.
Yes I remember now, I don't however recall him lodging with the Duckies. Speaking of which, I wonder how long till Terry makes a reappearance? Apparently Nigel Pivaro is a journalist now so maybe not...

Nigel Pivaro was probably the worst actor ever to appear on Coronation Street (imo)...he made Caz look like Maggie Smith.

Last time he made an appearance it looked like he had developed a liking for too many pies.

His son "Tommy" (whom he sold) wasn't much better.

Were the writers having a competition to get in wedding references? We had "I do" and "I'm getting married in the morning" from Roy with no sense of irony.
