Neville Hawthorne

Neville Hawthorne was the son of Angela Hawthorne and the step-son of both Derek Wilton and Norris Cole.

Neville was first seen working alongside his step-father Derek at the family firm Hawthorne's. In 1986, Derek became threatened that Neville was going to become his boss. However, Derek later spoke to the MD at the business and got them to keep Neville as his junior.

When Derek went out for a meal with Mavis Wilton, Neville arrived and Derek was forced to introduce Mavis as a client of Hawthorne's in order to cover up the date.

Neville was next seen in 2005 when Norris decided to go for a job interview at a dynamic new company and was shocked that the manager was his ex-stepson. Neville berated Norris for his failures as a step-father including being three hours late for Christmas dinner and buying him socks instead of a Scalextric set. Neville then teased Norris by offering him the chance to join the business as a tea boy.

Neville returned in 2007 to invite Norris to Angela's funeral.
