Arthur Forsythe-Jones was a close friend of Rovers landlady Annie Walker's. A white-haired, well-spoken man, Arthur met Annie while she was on holiday in Babbacombe and they were instantly taken with each other; upon her return to Weatherfield, Annie constantly referred to Arthur, annoying her husband Jack. Following his stint as Forsythe-Jones in June 1963, Ian Colin reprised the role in a voice-only appearance in Episode 317. A still image of Forsythe-Jones and Annie Walker together appears in that episode to illustrate the character.
