| rdfs:comment | - Edward Jeremy Timothy "Eddie" Yeats was an ex-convict-turned-binman who socialised with the residents of Coronation Street in the 1970s and lodged at No.13 with Stan and Hilda Ogden from 1980 to 1983. Born in Liverpool, Eddie was a jack of all trades, but never had a steady job; he made money from opportunistic thieving and selling on stolen or faulty goods, procured for him by any of his criminal friends, who like Eddie were in and out of prison. In 1974, he appeared in Coronation Street in parole from Walton Jail and convinced Minnie Caldwell, ex-landlady of his cellmate Jed Stone, to give him lodgings. He returned some months later a free man and made the Street his new home, give or take another stint in prison for handling stolen goods.

| abstract | - Edward Jeremy Timothy "Eddie" Yeats was an ex-convict-turned-binman who socialised with the residents of Coronation Street in the 1970s and lodged at No.13 with Stan and Hilda Ogden from 1980 to 1983. Born in Liverpool, Eddie was a jack of all trades, but never had a steady job; he made money from opportunistic thieving and selling on stolen or faulty goods, procured for him by any of his criminal friends, who like Eddie were in and out of prison. In 1974, he appeared in Coronation Street in parole from Walton Jail and convinced Minnie Caldwell, ex-landlady of his cellmate Jed Stone, to give him lodgings. He returned some months later a free man and made the Street his new home, give or take another stint in prison for handling stolen goods. In 1976, Eddie found lodgings at No.13 with the Ogdens after getting Hilda's mural made for her. Eddie became the son the Ogdens never had, and beer-swilling Stan's partner in crime, although Hilda didn't let him live at No.13 permanently until he had a full-time job, which didn't happen until he started working as a binman in 1980. In 1982, he met Marion Willis and they got married in 1983 before moving to Bury to care for Marion's sick mother. He last visited the Street in 1987, to see Hilda when she was attacked by burglars.
