List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 1965

Lionel Petty arrives on Coronation Street as the new owner of the Corner Shop, which he previously bought from Florrie Lindley.Having lost touch with his family in Weatherfield not long after leaving the country, the elder Tom asks his grandson to find Ena and persuade her to come and stay at his log cabin between Omaha and Sioux City, Nebraska, putting up the air fare himself, when the latter is due in the UK for work purposes.The younger Tom works for a travel agent in Omaha, who does package tours of Europe and he has been dispatched to the UK to check out the hotels.In order to trace Ena, Tom uses a firm of solicitors who put an ad in a local Weatherfield paper asking her to contact them, using her maiden name and last known address of 65 Inkerman Street.Tom acquaints her with the Schofield line going back to her brother and reads a letter from him in which he talks about his childhood memories of her, which moves her to tears.In that time he samples Ena's Lancashire hotpot, and defends her when Lionel Petty confronts her over a neighbourhood boycott of the Corner Shop she's enacted.Tom is not interested in sight-seeing and spends most of the three-week stay in Coronation Street, socialising with Ena's friends and neighbours.Robert "Bob" Maxwell is a solicitor whom Elsie Tanner meets in the Fox and Hound pub during a desperate attempt to find love outside of Coronation Street.After a night of flirting, Bob drives Elsie home, and on the way they stop in a lay-by where he tells her how unhappy he is in his marriage.He is overjoyed when his old girlfriend Brenda Riley is installed as manageress at the Rovers in the temporary absence of the Walkers, but she refuses to resume their relationship and goes out with Len Fairclough instead.Frank Turner is a customer of the Rovers who blackmails Jack Walker when he finds underage Lucille Hewitt managing the bar in his absence.He is beaten up in the alleyway behind the Rovers and Stan Ogden is celebrated for his handiwork, only for them all to learn it was in fact Jerry Booth who had done the deed.
