CORRIE bosses are planning a gritty new storyline for nosy parker Norris Cole.
Cardigan-clad Kabin co-owner Norris (Malcolm Hebden) will find himself at the centre of a hard-hitting new plot which sees the Street terrorised by a teenage gang.
Weatherfield was recently hit by one-man crimewave David Platt, but following his incarceration and, ahem, rehabilitation, the new kids arrive on the block ready to wreak havoc on the locals. Poor Norris is their first target.
The pensioner bravely tries to stand up to the yobs when they confront him in The Kabin.
But they’re after more than dolly mixtures and strawberry laces and he ends up bruised and shaken – and a few quid lighter.
A source said: “The writers want to reflect the growing problem of gang crime in our cities. They’re handling it in a sensitive manner and showing how the most vulnerable often fall victim to gang crimes.”
However, it’s not just Norris who’s in for a rough ride . . .
After ransacking The Kabin, the gang is keen to get their next hit – and that’s when they set their sights on Roy’s Rolls.
Dithering owner Roy Cropper (David Neilson) might be a picture of youth compared to Norris, but he too proves no match for the terrible teens. Our source added: “Roy keeps his house keys on a shoelace tied to his bag. He’s never going to be able to warn off a group of violent teens.”
However, while Roy gives into the gang, big boy Jerry Morton (Michael Starke) isn’t so easily beaten, and after throwing his considerable weight around he chases the hoodies off the premises.
Unfortunately though, the kebab king isn’t as fit as he used to be and as he tackles the yobs, Jerry suffers a heart attack and an ambulance takes him to hospital.
Our source continued: “The storyline will bring the Mortons back into the frame.
“First Jerry is hospitalised then his teenage daughter Kayleigh identifies one of the gang as Kenzie Judd, a boy she fancies at school.”
It’s a good job Kayleigh’s big sister Mel is a police-woman . . .
The storyline unfolds at the end of the month.
