James Nugent

James Nugent (credited as Mr Nugent) was the father of Emily Nugent. He arrived in August 1961 to have a chat with Leonard Swindley, Emily's boss. He started questioning Swindley about his intentions towards Emily, although he said he pushes Emily too far.

In 1966, Emily left Weatherfield to take care of James, who had a stroke. She returned back to Weatherfield a year later in 1967.
