Derek Bernard Wilton was the on/off partner and later husband of Mavis Wilton from 1988 until his death in 1997. Derek was often dominated by women; he remained a bachelor until after his mother Amy's death in 1981 as he always bowed to her wishes. He first met Mavis Riley in 1976 but remained non-committal until 1984 when they agreed to marry - but on their wedding day, the indecisive couple jilted each other. Forever letting Mavis down, Derek was usually too proud to admit he was at fault but still went to her with his problems. His biggest mistake was marrying his boss's daughter Angela Hawthorne in 1985, even though it was Mavis he really wanted. After divorcing Angela, Derek finally married Mavis in 1988 and in 1990 they moved into 4 Coronation Street.

| - Derek Bernard Wilton was the on/off partner and later husband of Mavis Wilton from 1988 until his death in 1997. Derek was often dominated by women; he remained a bachelor until after his mother Amy's death in 1981 as he always bowed to her wishes. He first met Mavis Riley in 1976 but remained non-committal until 1984 when they agreed to marry - but on their wedding day, the indecisive couple jilted each other. Forever letting Mavis down, Derek was usually too proud to admit he was at fault but still went to her with his problems. His biggest mistake was marrying his boss's daughter Angela Hawthorne in 1985, even though it was Mavis he really wanted. After divorcing Angela, Derek finally married Mavis in 1988 and in 1990 they moved into 4 Coronation Street. On the career front, Derek never had much luck; he usually worked as a salesman but his jobs never tended to last long, and in desperation for employment he usually had to turn to people who had caused problems in his and Mavis's lives, including Angela and Mavis's ex-partner Victor Pendlebury. Eccentric and pompous, Derek was the perfect match for dithering Mavis, as they were both very much alike, although their old-fashioned mannerisms and tendency to over-dramaticize everything sometimes made them the butt of the neighbours' jokes, especially their immediate neighbour Des Barnes. Derek died from a heart attack during a road rage incident on Mavis's birthday in 1997.
