Connie Clayton Constance " Connie " Clayton was the wife of Harry Clayton , who bought 11 Coronation Street in 1985 . They lived there with their teenage daughters Andrea and Sue but the family did a moonlight flit and disappeared from the area after Andrea got pregnant by Terry Duckworth . Biography . In January 1985 , Connie Clayton was persuaded by husband Harry that 11 Coronation Street was the perfect house for them and their daughters Andrea and Sue . Harry bought the house from Bill Webster when Bill moved to Southampton . Soon after the Claytons were settled into No . 11 , a row erupted between the family and the Duckworths . As an anniversary present for Vera , Jack asked Connie - a dressmaker - to make a dress out of some silver lurex he ' d got for free . It was cheap material and looked hideous but Connie did the best she could with it , but Vera wasn ' t happy with the dress and offered only £20 of the £38 . 50 Connie charged for altering it . Connie refused to accept the payment and the families went to war ; Harry , a milkman , stopped leaving milk for the Duckworths and Connie didn ' t pay Jack for cleaning their windows until Vera paid up . While this was happening , Andrea was secretly dating Terry Duckworth although Connie and Harry found out when they caught them snogging on the sofa . Terry tried to settle the war by paying the money for Vera , but while Connie accepted it there was no love lost between the two families . A short time later , Andrea told Connie she was pregnant by Terry . Connie supported Andrea , telling her it wasn ' t the end of the world and she offered to raise the baby with Harry while Andrea went to University ; she ' d been studying for her A - Levels for months and the family hoped she ' d go on to achieve . Andrea hadn ' t yet decided whether she was going to have the baby but Harry and Connie told Jack and Vera in the Rovers and a fight ensued when Jack insinuated that Andrea was a slut and that Terry might not be the father . Andrea decided to keep the baby but didn ' t want Terry involved . Connie and Harry supported her attempts to keep Terry away but it wasn ' t easy as the Duckworths lived next door . On the verge of a breakdown , Connie told Harry they had to move and that her mother ' s house would do until they found somewhere else . Harry agreed and the family left the Street overnight . Connie and Harry returned a few days later to collect their furniture , and told Terry that everything was his fault . The Claytons settled in Heaton Norris and Andrea had a baby boy , Paul Clayton , in February 1986 . The Duckworths had no way of reaching Andrea or Paul until Andrea tracked them down in November 2000 and told them that Paul was experiencing kidney failure and Andrea ' s family had proved unsuitable as donors . Connie kept watch over Paul at the hospital with Andrea and Vera while Jack tracked Terry down . Once he was found and confirmed as a suitable donor , Terry agreed to have the operation but did a runner with the £25 , 000 Jack had given him as payment , as otherwise Vera would have donated one of her kidneys , despite the great risk to her . Vera went through with the operation and both patients pulled through . Quotes .
