Niall (Episode 9292)

Niall was a customer at the Rovers in November 2017. When Niall walked in, he matched with Gemma Winter on a dating app and the pair started chatting at the bar.

Niall charmed Gemma with compliments and made several sleazy innuendos, much to the displeasure of the landlord Peter Barlow. Niall took advantage of Gemma's kind nature by pretending that he had forgotten his wallet, meaning that she had to buy their drinks. When Gemma went to the toilet, Niall answered a phone call from one of his friends. Peter and Jude Appleton overheard Niall make several unpleasant remarks about Gemma, calling her a 'right dog' but saying that he would still take her home.

After she returned from the toilet, Peter and Jude told Gemma about what Niall had been saying and advised her that he was an idiot. Peter asked Niall to leave Gemma alone and get out. When Niall refused, Peter became forceful and threw him out onto the street. The police had arrived at the Rovers after receiving complaints of a disturbance but Niall was able to flee from Jess Heywood after her colleague Craig Tinker failed to offer assistance.
