  • Mavis Wilton (née Riley) is a former Coronation Street resident, having been Rita Sullivan's assistant at The Kabin newsagent from 1973 to 1997, and wife of the late Derek Wilton. Mavis was born in Weatherfield but was brought up in Grange-over-Sands. By 1971, she was back in Weatherfield and working at the Mark Brittain Warehouse, but two years later she left the job to take the assistant position at The Kabin. Rita was Mavis's closest friend in the Street, although they were quite different; while Mavis was indecisive and dowdy, Rita was confident and glamorous. Mavis was easily misled and Rita often tried to protect her, usually from herself. One of Mavis's greatest fears was that she would never marry. She was always surprised when men showed an interest in her, leading her to doubt any man was a good match for her. This was especially true with regards to Derek Wilton, who was just as indecisive; he and Mavis agreed to marry in 1984 but neither of them showed up at the church. Derek and Mavis had an on-off relationship for many years but finally got properly married in 1988, and two years later bought the new No.4 Coronation Street. When Derek died in 1997, Mavis found it too hard to live at No.4 without him and moved to the Lake District to run a bed and breakfast. Aside from Derek, Mavis's suitors included Jerry Booth, Victor Pendlebury and Carlos, who asked Mavis to marry him in 1975 so that he could stay in the country. Another key relationship was with her pet budgie Harriet, which Mavis was always making a fuss over.
