Mrs Wallace

Mrs Wallace was an elderly woman who viewed 3 Coronation Street when Emily Bishop put the house on the market in 1991. Emily was moving to Rhos-on-Sea, much to her lodger Percy Sugden's displeasure.

Mrs Wallace was accompanied by her son, who did all of the talking while Emily gave them a tour. As Mr Wallace gave his opinions on the property, both positive and negative, his mother nodded along and smiled. They'd just come downstairs when the sound of banging drew them into the kitchen, where Percy was hard at work clearing a blockage in the pipes below the sink. Percy then compounded the blunder by implying that the house had other defects on account of its age.

Unsurprisingly, the Wallaces decided not to make an offer on the property. Rapidly losing patience with her lodger, Emily accused Percy of faking the plumbing problem in order to put the couple off and therefore remain under her roof a little longer. Emily made sure that Percy was elsewhere during subsequent viewings.
