Norris Benjamin Cole, played by Malcolm Hebden, is a fictional character on the soap opera Coronation Street. Born on the 5th of March 1941 in Knotty Ash, Liverpool (possibly).
Norris first appeared in 1994 from 1997, before resuming the role in 1999. He continues in the series to the present day.
Norris came into the series after rescuing
Derek Wilton when his car broke down. He was at that time a travelling salesman. He saw Derek as a friend (he mistakingly called him Dirk quite often), and imposed himself on Derek and his wife
Mavis at every opportunity. Eventually, he stole Derek's position as a senior salesman and married Derek's ex-wife, Angela. They were divorced, and Norris ended up as a door-to-door salesman. He returned to the street for Derek's funeral after he died of a heart attack after a road rage incident, which was how he arrived in Rita Sullivan's shop, where he now works. He and Rita form the traditional shop comedy double-act. He has a big ego and an inaccurate view of his own potential. He has attempted to find work elsewhere (and even went as far as claiming he was 46 years old on application forms) but was unsuccessful.
Norris is portrayed with a camp personne. He has got into many scrapes due to his nosiness and his constant gossiping. It was due to this reputation that no one believed his suspicions about
Richard Hillman.
