Norris later became a salesman and married a woman called Myrtle.

In 1994, he picked up Derek Wilton whose car had broken down, and gave him a lift to home. Norris later left his wife and moved in with Derek and Mavis, much to Mavis's horror. A year later, Norris played a joke on Derek by kidnapping his beloved gnome, Arthur, and sending a ransom note demanding sweets. He also lured Derek to the Red Rec to meet up, and Derek was arrested when believed to be a flasher who was going around Weatherfield. When Norris asked Derek to be best man when marrying Derek's ex-wife, Angela, Arthur was discovered by Derek in Norris's cupboard, when taking a drunken Norris home on his stag night. The next day when taking Norris to the wedding, Derek drove him to the wrong church as revenge towards him. When Derek died in 1997 from a heart attack following a road rage incident, Norris attended his funeral, but Angela didn't as she was too upset.
