Following in a curmudgeonly line of Coronation Street codgers, news reaches the blog that butcher Graeme Proctor is set to become the new Fred Elliot. And that's not a Good Thing, because it sends him on the slippery slope of becoming Coronation Street's next old codger. Remember Uncle Albert Tatlock and Percy Sugden? Norris Cole currently wears the old codger crown but it could be going to Graeme sooner than he and his fans might like.
