Matthew "Matt" Ramsden graduated from University of Nottingham and became a GP in 1990. He was the local GP, and ran his surgery from Rosamund Street Health Centre. He lives with wife Charlie, an English teacher at Weatherfield Comprehensive who lived at No 6 Coronation Street, renting it from Natalie Barnes. Since arriving in the street Matt has become friends with neighbours Curly Watts and Ashley Peacock; though wife Charlie is not to kean on husband Matt being friendly with next door neighbours Maxine and Ashley, as Charlie has nothing in common with Maxine at all.
