He started off on Corrie as its archivist in 1988 and in that role wrote some of the best books available on all things Corrie. Later, he moved into the writing team as a storyliner and then as a script writer, where he wrote 95 episodes, introducing the first openly gay character in Todd Grimshaw. His background as fan and archivist meant that he had a real feel for the history of the programme and his scripts would regularly contain references to characters and events from the past.
Looking for new challenges he went on to write and produce a 20 part series Hollyoaks: In The City and when it wasn't recommisioned, he moved on to Hollyoaks for a while.
He then went to try his hand in America as creative consultant and associate head writer on All My Children, returning to the UK last year to write 9 further episodes of Corrie.
