Since
Alf Roberts gave him a lift back in 1983, Kevin has led an eventful life. He
was originally employed as a mechanic by Brian Tilsley before in time starting
his own business in the late 1990s which he still owns. He became Hilda Ogden’s
lodger before marrying Sally Seddon in 1986. They had two girls: Rosie (b.
1990) and Sophie (b. 1994). The young family led a quiet life until Kevin had
an affair with vamp Natalie Horrocks in 1997 that led in time to the marriage
collapsing and they divorced. He soon found love in Alison Wakefield who he
married in 2000 and they had a son called Jake who died days after being born.
Devastated, Alison committed suicide by running into the path of a lorry. In
2002, Kevin and Sally remarried but once again Kevin strayed with Molly Dobbs
in 2009 (their son Jack was born in 2010) and the Websters divorced again.
Since then, Kevin has attempted to reconcile with Sally.Should Kevin be at 50? Leave a comment!

Originally
Rita’s agent when she used to do the clubs in the 1970s; bumbling Alec didn’t
become a regular character until 1986 when he appeared as the owner of the
Graffiti Club. Through this, he began a dalliance with Bet Lynch and they
married in 1987 and he took over as licensee. Their marriage was tempestuous
due to their banter and sarcasm as well as Alec’s tendency to be stingy. The
marriage ended in 1992 when Alec left Bet for a job in Southampton. Alec returned
again in 1996 with The Rovers now in the incapable hands of Jack and Vera and went
into partnership with them. By 1998, Alec was the sole owner and was engaged to
Rita. But his attempt to evict the Duckworths from the Rovers caused the
engagement to end. Disgruntled, Alec left the cobbles for Brighton and sold the
pub to Natalie Barnes.Should Alec be at 49? Did you love his partnership with Bet and the Duckworths? Leave a comment!

49? Sorry, but Alec Gilroy makes my Top 10! The days when they really understood how to integrate the comedy. Definitely should have been higher!
Kevin is a good regular bloke but there are better characters out there.
Alec Gilroy - brilliant! Stingy, misanthropic, selfish, and hilarious with whoever they put him with. Putting him with Bet was genius. One of Corrie's best ever characters.
