Was Lewis inspired by Delbert Grady?

When Nigel Havers (Coronation Street's Lewis) told Deirdre what a "naughty girl" she was (oh dear - bear with me a mo while I revive self with huge whiff of sal volatile) it definitely reminded me of someone else, saying something very similar. Why are the hairs standing up on the back of my neck, I wondered. Then it came to me - Lewis sounded creepily like Delbert Grady, in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, The Shining. Referring to Jack Nicholson's psychic son, Danny, he says, "He's a rather wilful boy, sir. A rather naughty boy, if I may be so bold, sir."
Or perhaps it's just me.
