Clarissa Mason - Len Windass

Len Windass, played by Conor Ryan is the brother of Eddie Windass (Steve Huison) and the uncle of Gary Windass (Mikey North). He made his first appearance on 14 November 2008. Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) warns friend David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) not to mess with Len and the family as it will lead to trouble after David has been back to the family's house to demand payment for their new kitchen.

Len and Gary menace Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale) out of his tools in retaliation to David's threat against Len's brother, Eddie and his partner Anna (Debbie Rush), in order to recover some money they owe. Len helps the family settle into Number 6 and reappears a month later when Gary asks him to get hold of some copper piping, which they steal from Bill Webster's (Peter Armitage) building yard.

In February 2009, Len is furious when he hears that Gary is being brought to court for starting a violent fight with David. He threatens David's girlfriend Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan), warning her not to testify at the trial. He also begins taunting Tina's father Joe, whom he later tries to bribe by offering him a lucrative offer to fit kitchens in a new development on the condition that he will persuade Tina not to testify.

In mid-2009, Len gives Gary an alibi when he robs Audrey Roberts's (Sue Nicholls) house and causes Ted Page (Michael Byrne) to have a heart attack. However, Gary tells his parents the truth and Eddie tells Len that he isn't welcome in their home any more.

Several months later, Len reappears when Joe is thrown off a building job for not being up to it. He then makes a further appearance back on the Street on 14 August, with Eddie, when Joe is arrested for breaking into the medical centre. Len has not appeared since.

Len was mentioned in mid-2010 when Eddie arranged to take the order of a load of cigarettes for Len, who was said to be on holiday at the time. Gary also briefly stayed at Len's empty house when he was AWOL from the army.

In April 2011, Eddie receives a phonecall from Len, offering Eddie a job with him in Germany, much to Anna's annoyance. After Eddie and Anna split up, Eddie leaves Weatherfield and goes to Germany to join Len.
