Eccentric
window cleaner Graeme Proctor became an instant hit with fans when he was David
Platt’s cellmate in the Young Offenders Institute. He was charged with arson
although during his stint on the street he never caused any damage to property.
Originally a guest character, his popularity amongst fans gained him a regular
role and he lodged with the Platts and was employed at Ashley Peacock’s butcher
shop, forming a close friendship with the squeaky voiced butcher. Due to his
comedic potential, Graeme often shared scenes with Norris and Rita and often
put Norris’ nose out of joint. When he found himself homeless, he found
lodgings with Emily Bishop to Norris’ chagrin. Quite unexpectedly, Graeme found
romance with feisty Tina McIntyre who was best mate David’s ex. Graeme had
helped Tina through her grief after losing dad Joe and they fell for each other.
But their romance hit a snag when Tina wanted to help friend Xin Chiang to stay
in the country and wanted Graeme to marry her in a bid to obstruct her being
transported. But the sham marriage turned into true love and Graeme and Xin
decided to leave the street and a heartbroken Tina behind.
