In the Street , Curly lodged with Emily Bishop and Jack and Vera Duckworth before moving into No . 7 with Angie Freeman .

The marriage lasted less than a year as Raquel left Curly to take a modelling opportunity in France . She returned in 2000 to tell him he had a daughter , Alice Watts . Curly ' s next love was policewoman Emma Taylor and their partnerhsip was far smoother ; they married in 2001 and their son Ben was born that same year .

Councillor Naysmith Councillor Naysmith was an elected councillor on Weatherfield Borough Council and a rival of colleague Curly Watts . Their paths first crossed in March 2002 when the council made plans to close the local crèche in the Medical Centre used by Sarah Platt and Curly ' s help was sought in reversing the plans . Standard methods to get the plans reversed were unsuccessful , including a sit - in at the crèche itself , which was badly supported by the parents who used it . Curly raised the matter at the next council meeting , interrupting a discussion about council - provided hanging baskets and received a haughty reply by Naysmith who alluded to the fact that Curly was only interested in the matter because he had just become a parent himself . A vote was called for to keep the crèche open but was defeated . Incensed , the watching Platt family blockaded the council car park as Naysmith tried to leave and , feeling that he ' d left his constituents down , Curly joined them , only to be arrested by his own wife , Emma . A month later , Curly approached Naysmith for funding for a civil war re - enactment on the Red Rec to mark the Queen ' s Golden Jubilee . Naysmith was as condescending as ever , telling Curly that not only was funding not available but the necessary permissions to stage the event had not been sought and as a result , it would not take place . Roy Cropper was almost clinically depressed at this news , having put so much effort into organising the event . Hayley went to see Naysmith herself and pleaded emotionally with him to grant special dispensation . Whereas the rancour between Curly and Naysmith failed , Hayley ' s charm succeeded and he not only granted the dispensation but also found some funding for them . In the September , Naysmith was the representative at a council - sponsored art exhibition at which Toyah Battersby won first prize with her Tracy Emin - style piece " Les ' s Chair " . Naysmith , being of the old school , was frankly perplexed by some of the items on show but managed to relate to the meaning behind the winning exhibit . Unfortunately , when he was interviewed by journalist Matt Broughall his description of the chair as representing " yob culture " upset Les Battersby who had hitherto looked on his daughter ' s winning piece with pride . In August of the following year , it was Les who brought Curly back within Naysmith ' s orbit when he asked for his help in getting Mr Battersby evicted from No . 5 . Emma had been complicit in getting Les falsely convicted for assaulting her police colleague Mick Hopwood and , newly released from prison , Les was getting his revenge by sabotaging their efforts to sell their house . Naysmith smirked that Curly was dropping his principles for once because of his own needs . Emma , when told , reacted angrily towards Curly for the same reason . Nevertheless , Naysmith suggested that Les ' s ex - wife , Janice write to say that she was no longer resident and that could help . Despite being Mick ' s girlfriend , she refused out of feelings of guilt . List of appearances . 2002 2003
