Neil Crossley

Neil Crossley arrived in Weatherfield in July 1963 to become manager at the Gamma Garments. Neil was tracked down by Pat Lynch who demanded that he give her the money he owed her. Neil failed to complete his work and often put Doreen Lostock and Emily Nugent in charge. Soon they found out that Neil had been stealing from the cash register. Neil began to date Sheila Birtles in secret. Sheila kept it a secret from her other boyfriend Jerry Booth. When Elsie Tanner found out she told Sheila to drop Neil. In August Jerry caught Sheila with Neil, a fight soon breaks out between the two leading to Neil being knocked out. When he woke up he swore vengence on Jerry. After the fight Sheila dumped Jerry. On the 14th August Neil stood Shelia up on a date, making her cry. Neil promised a second outing but before going out Sheila caught him trying to run off, the two then had an argument leading to Neil slapping her in the middle of the shop. Emily decided to phone Mr Papagopolous to ask for his removal. Mr Papagoplous made Emily the mangeress of Gamma Garments and told her to fire Neil. After being fired Neil decided to leave Weatherfield.

In 1966 Elsie discovered Neil working as the Manager at a Supermarket and told Sheila to stay away from him but Sheila decided to get see him anyways. The two start to date again, meaning that Sheila had to dump Jerry Booth again. Neil is told by Sheila that he has a son called Danny Crossley who she put up for adoption. Neil asked Sheila if she wanted to marry him, she said yes and the two ran off together.
