Norris went to visit Emily. Earlier this year Freda returned to cobbles shortly followed by Norris, who she was now engaged to.
Norris and Freda didn’t stay for long, they returned to sort out the sale of Norris’s house, No.1 Coronation Street, and for Norris to sell the Kabin.
Shortly after Norris left, the Baileys moved into the house and Kathy and Brian bought the Kabin, much to Rita’s dismay.
