The unnamed Hospital Porter worked at Weatherfield General and took Deirdre Langton, heavily in labour, from the ward to the delivery room when the time came for her to give birth to Tracy Langton in January 1977. A man with an eye for the ladies, he commented on the presence of Ray Langton as cramping his style, earning a comment from Staff Nurse Maloney that the only place he would be safe would be working on the geriatric ward!
