Windass family

The Windasses are a family who have lived in Coronation Street, Weatherfield since 2008. Eddie and Anna Windass along with their son Gary moved into No.6 that year, renting the house from Jerry Morton who had recently moved to Spain with his own family. Eddie's brother Len helped them settle in and deal with issues with the Platts.

Gary went to prison for a short time during Summer 2009 for a robbery set up by David Platt and Graeme Proctor. Shortly after he was released, Gary joined the army and left for Afghanistan in December 2009. Gary moved back into No.6 in January 2011 after being discharged from the army for assaulting a police officer while he was on leave.

Around the same time Gary moved back in, Eddie and Anna fostered Faye Butler who eventually moved in during April 2011. Shortly after this, Eddie moved out to work in Germany with Len.
