Len caught Sharon's boyfriend, Steve Dunthorne, trying to lead her upstairs and her brother, Wayne, showed up and caused trouble as the pair had a difficult relationship. Len forbade Sharon and Steve from sleeping together. Sharon liked the Faircloughs and, on meeting the Boltons, decided that they were too posh and returned to Coronation Street, wanting to stay with Len and Rita until she was eighteen. Donald Worthington from the agency was against this but bowed to Sharon's wishes as Len and Rita were equally keen for Sharon to stay with them. While staying with the Faircloughs, Sharon lent Len a hand at the Builder's Yard, surprising him with her carpentry skills. She helped him rebuild No.7, which he intended to sell but Sharon and Rita persuaded him to sell No. 9 instead and moved into the newer house.
