Morton family

The Morton family were a fictional family in the British soap opera Coronation Street.

About the Mortons

The Morton family were introduced in 2007, automatically disturbed the neighbours notably Gail Platt, and quickly took over Diggory Compton's old bakery, but re-fitted it to form a kebab shop. Kayleigh went to live with her mother Teresa but Jerry took Kayleigh and her half brother Finlay to Weatherfield. Wilfred, grandad of the family faked his death on Father's Day 2007 after thinking that his criminal record would affect granddaughter Mel's plans to join the police force, whilst Jodie often had brawls with Cilla Battersby-Brown, and left in late 2007 after thinking that her father Jerry had taken her for granted too many times and left to live with a friend in London. Mel successfully joined the police force in early 2008. Later that year, Jerry had a Heart Attack and Teresa returned and began to poison Jerry in order to stay with her family, this led to Jerry going into intensive care and being close to dying. Jerry, Kayleigh and Finlay left the street in late September for a new life without Teresa in Spain, though Darryl and Mel decided to stay. Mel left in early October however, but went to live with a friend in Stretford instead of with the rest of her family. Darryl is now the only Morton left in street.Darryl left the street so the only Morton is Teresa.
