Chris Anderton was a con man who briefly stayed at the Rovers Return in December 2017.
When Peter Barlow and Toyah Battersby decided to rent out their spare room, their first and only guest was Chris. He instantly charmed Leanne Battersby and used his connection with her to his advantage.
While Chris pretended to get to know Leanne he was actually probing her for security questions in order to access her bank, asking about birthdays, maiden names and first pets. Chris was successful in gaining access to Leanne's bank and ended up taking £25,000 of her money, which she had been saving for a deposit on a house. As a result of Chris's actions, Leanne, Eva Price and Simon Barlow were forced to move into the Rovers full-time.
