Walter "Wally" Tanner was the father of Arnold Tanner and grandfather of Dennis and Linda. In 1966, he turned up at 11 Coronation Street to live with his ex-daughter-in-Law Elsie. While there, he gambled away his pension on a horse, but it ended up coming in second. When Elsie discovered that her ex-husband Arnold had a large living quarters, she dumped Wally on him, saying that if he didn't take him Wally would have to go in a home. He visited again for Dennis's wedding to Jenny Sutton in May 1968, and never returned to the Street again.
