Clarissa Mason - DC Hooch

DC Hooch is a policeman. He is enemies with Becky Granger (Katherine Kelly) and has tried to get her arrested on several occasions. He first accused her of theft, but Becky was found not guilty due to a false alibi from Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson). He reappeared in mid-2009 when it transpired that he had hired Becky's ex, Slug, to try and bring her down. Slug convinced Becky he was a changed man, however, on Hooch's orders, he planted drugs in Becky's bag on her wedding day to Steve. The Rovers was then raided by the police and Becky was arrested.

Steve confronted Hooch who told him that it was payback for the court case in 2008. Steve then instructed his Streetcars drivers to track down Slug. Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles) managed to find him and he and Steve bundled him into a car boot and took him to Becky, where he admitted planting the drugs for Hooch. Steve, Lloyd and Becky then met with Hooch and Slug was forced to say he would tell the truth in court and defend Becky. Hooch remained confident, however, soon after, the charges against Becky were dropped.

Hooch later met with Steve and told him that he wouldn't bother them again if they stayed out of his way. He also warned Steve that Becky would bring him down. Hooch has not been seen since.
