Phil Braithwaite

Phil Braithwaite was a Town Hall worker who arrived in Coronation Street looking for somewhere to lodge in 1961. He and Norman Dobson moved into the shop flat, owned by Florrie Lindley. Phil was less than happy to find out he was now living in the same street as argumentative pensioner Ena Sharples.

By January 1962, Phil and Norman has vacated the flat.


 * Phil was introduced two weeks before the Equity actors' strike began. The strike prevented actor Brian Dean from appearing in the series from Episode 94 onwards. In Episode 115, Phil and Norman are said to have left the flat, though their exact date of departure is not known.
