Macca

Macca was an old friend of Kylie Platt. She bumped into him when she went back into one of her old haunts, The Dog & Gun, searching for Max Turner's father Callum Logan in order to obtain drugs with him. Macca gave Kylie an enthusiastic hug and the same for an unimpressed Eva Price who had tagged along with Kylie, thinking she wanted to see Callum to talk about Max's ADHD which was thought to be genetically inherited.

Macca immediately started reminiscing about the time he, Kylie, Callum and some friends stole a bus which had been temporarily abandoned by its driver while he made a toilet break. His waste of a life had not changed since Kylie had last seen him, being in a permanent state of unemployment and intoxication. Macca was extremely attracted to Eva and spoke of the electricity between them, being dismissive of his "horrible cow" of a girlfriend. When Callum arrived in the pub, the four made an uncomfortable party with Kylie's old friend Gemma Winter until Eva realised the true reason for the visit and walked out, Macca alerted Callum that Joey Miller, a hardcase who Callum owed money to was outside and demanding to see him. Callum was unconcerned about any fight that might ensue, even if it meant that he would end up back inside prison. Kylie realised that he hadn't changed for the better and walked out on him, only to return later when her need for speed grew too great.

After Kylie left home on Christmas Day after being kicked out by husband David, he later went searching for her, worried about her welfare. When Callum refused to disclose her whereabouts, David confronted Macca outside The Dog & Gun and asked for Callum's address. After David offered him £50, Macca showed David and Eva to the address, where an impatient David kicked the door in to look for evidence of Kylie being there. Macca betrayed David however and called Callum, who came round to the flat with a heavy to confront David, but later let him go.

Macca was also in evidence when David went back to the pub to have it out with Callum a few weeks later and was hauled outside for a beating. It was only prevented by the arrival of Gemma Winter who had an argument with Callum during which it became clear that Callum was equally clueless as to Kylie's whereabouts.
