Kevin is a mechanic by trade. He worked at MVB Motors until it
was taken over by Don Brennan. Don didnt realise the investment
that was required, and after a few weeks, the bank called in the
receivers. Kevin had to find another job, and now works at the
tyre and exhaust place.
Mike had given Kevin first refusal on the garage and he took it:
the refusal that is. Sally tried to persuade him to take it, but
Kevin doesnt want to have the responsibilities of being a boss.
Also, he doesnt know how to run a business. Hes a good mechanic,
and just wants to do that, taking pride in his work. The idea
of being unemployed was too much for him to handle, although he
wasnt out of work for long.
Kevin is very jealous and protective of Sally. Hes always ready
to have a go at people if he thinks theyre taking advantage of
her. Sally often finds this restrictive, as it stops her from
doing things she wants to do. For example, she used to help out
at the corner shop when they were short-staffed, but Kevin was
always arguing with Maud and Maureen that they worked her too
hard.
He thinks Sallys place is to look after him and his children,
with his dinner on the table when he gets home. Hes still coming
to terms with the fact that Sally has found this too restricting
and has recently taken a job at Baldwins factory.
The Websters have a special relationship with Rita Sullivan. She
likes Sally and the children and has given them money to help
out on a number of occasions. This led to an argument when Kevins
father Bill turned up out of the blue. He stayed with them for
a while and they lent him £2000 to help him out. He repaid
this with something every month, and is now completely clear.
However, Rita was upset that they were spending `her money on
`a waster. This quarrel is now made up.
While staying with his son, Bill burned their kitchen down while
getting their dinner ready. Being a builder, he rebuilt it for
them.
New year's Eve, going into the 1999, Kevin met Alison Wakefield. He later married her when she became pregnant, it seemed like a new start. Alison gave birth do baby Jake on June 5, 2000. He contracted an infection and died. She took the newly born baby of Sarah Platt and walked out with her, thinking it was her own baby. She was found near a baby care store on the high street. She gave the baby back to Kevin and then ran out in front of a lorry, dying at the scene. Kevin was distraught, and not long after this, ran back into Sally's arms. He eventually persuaded Sally to have him back and remarry him though it was a close call, Sally having developed an infatuation with Alex the decorator.
In 2003, he was part of a rescue mission, when Richard Hillman drove his car into the Weatherfield canal, with Gail, Sarah-Louise and David Platt all inside. With the help of Tommy Harris and Martin Platt, they rescued Gail, Sarah and David, but Richard drowned.
In 2005, Kevin found Tommy murdered inside the garage. He closed it, and then reopened for business a few days later. Also, he discovered his wife, Sally, was having an affair.
