Picture: Graeme Proctor, Garden Doctor
Published Friday, Jul 31 2009, 06:00 BST | By Kris Green | 15 comments
I promised you a Graeme Proctor picture exclusive and here it is.
Recently, I caught up with Craig Gazey to chat about Graeme's development in the show and what's to come from him over the next few months. Click here to read some interesting teasers about his interaction with Blanche (Maggie Jones) and Norris (Malcolm Hebden), as well as his plea for the producers to introduce a screen girlfriend...
Here, however, is something I saved exclusively for Soap Scoop.
Next month, Graeme embarks on a new business venture which he shrewdly names 'Graeme Proctor, Garden Doctor'. And he plumps for a rather different form of transport.
Craig told me: "Graeme, he buys a rickshaw and he's going to kit it all out. Eventually, he'll put fake grass on the top and a flower box at the back. It's not souped-up yet, though. At the moment, it just has kitchen cupboards around it."
He added: "I've been chatting to the design department recently to talk about what we're going to do with it!"
And here's the man himself with his new wheels in all their glory. The rickshaw makes its debut on Friday, August 21.

Graeme is the BEST thing to happen to Corrie in a long time, and I just love his character to bits! - He's also truly natural in every scene he's in and has me cracking up with laughter. His delivery, timing, and acting is spot on and long may he be in the show.

Once again corrie have come up with a good young actor, i dont know if they "mould" the people or not, but this guy is a natural. For me, he will join the likes of Stan/Eddie Yates, yes and even old Fred Gee. [lot of people didn't like him, I thought he was a good laugh] good luck mate.

Graeme is already a Corrie legend - a mean feat in such a short period of time! Can't wait to find out more about him, and this story looks funny!!

Graeme is fantastically funny; i think he has to have a girlfriend, preferably Kathy Burke as his older woman. T'would be marvellous!

Oh great the terrible and cringe-worthy Graeme gets this tripe story. I don't watch Corrie anymore cause of its dire state but this won't tune me in. The last episode I watched was Eileen's terrible actor of a dad dying which was humourous to watch in my opinion

If Graeme is going to start his own business does this mean he will stop working for Ashley? [He'll still be working with Ashley, too, apparently... KG]
