Dan Jones

Dan Jones was a rep who worked at Newton & Ridley and had a soft spot for Liz McDonald, having once unsuccessfully asked her out to a licensee's ball. Dan was at Nick's Bistro with Paddy Vincent, the brewery's finance director, when they bumped into Liz and Erica Holroyd having a meal. Whereas Paddy didn't impress either of the two ladies, Liz was taken with Dan and, on the rebound from her disastrous relationship with Tony Stewart, invited him back to the Rovers for a drink, much to the amusement of Sean Tully. Dan complimented her on the pub, saying there were few of its type still running nowadays.

He returned a few days later where barmaid Sarah Platt complimented him for putting a smile on Liz's face. Liz told him of her plans to ensure that Tony, part-owner of the pub, would be a silent partner from now onwards.
