George Ormerod was the husband of Helen Ormerod, sister of Janet Reid. In 1971, Janet cancelled a trip to Leicester for George and Helen's wedding anniversary party. When the couple visited Janet in Weatherfield a few days later, they inadvertently blew her cover by telling Stan and Hilda Ogden about Janet's no-show, as she'd used the party as an alibi for a visit to Leeds to follow Alan Howard, with whom she was having an affair.
George was middle aged and balding, and had a moustache.
