Episode 3049

Fresh-faced Kevin

28th March 1990: All eyes were on the new "posh" side of the Street as its first residents - Des and Steph Barnes - threw a ruckus housewarming party at No.6, on the same evening that Derek and Mavis Wilton had a romantic meal after spending the rest of the day moving their things into No.4 next door. The two households got off to a bad start as the Barnes' music ruined the meal, and Derek ended up joining the party after going there to complain. Steph won a bet with Des when she lured Kevin Webster upstairs and shaved off his moustache, while the trauma of the move took its toll on one member of the Wilton family as Mavis found Harriet the budgie dead in her cage.

Josie Clarke in 1995

Josie Clarke was a short-term Coronation Street resident who moved into No.5 with Don Brennan after his marriage to Ivy ended. In 1996, Josie and Don were scammed into buying MVB Motors at an inflated price by Mike Baldwin, who employed Josie as office manager at his factory Baldwin's Sportswear. When the garage went into receivership due to Don's poor business decisions, Don turned against Josie, causing her to leave him. Away from Don, Josie's life improved and as of 1997 she was married to a doctor.

Previous featured characters: Evelyn Plummer; Jacob Hay; Zoe Tattersall; Ivy Brennan; Oliver Battersby; Summer Spellman.
