Brendan Scott
For most of his time on The Street, Brendan was the nemesis of
Reg Holdsworth and Curly
Watts as Area Manager of Bettabuys. Brendan and Reg's paths
had first crossed in 1982 when Reg investigated a charge of dishonesty
against Brendan, who was then Bettabuys' Wakefield store manager.
Brendan was suspended, but was subsequently reinstated and promoted
to Head Office, where he vowed to take revenge. When Vera
Duckworth was sacked by Reg for alleging he had fixed the
Bettabuys' Trolley Dash to favour Rita
Fairclough, it provided Brendan's ideal opportunity, appearing
at the store as Bettabuys Special Investigator.
In 1993, he took early retirement from Bettabuys, and using
his lump sum, bought the Corner Shop, and turned it into Best
Buys - with a very traditional decor. However, he literally worked
himself into an early grave - dying of a heart attack in from
of shop assistant Emily Bishop.
