Cheryl Jones was the assistant at Manchester Airport's Tie 'n' Fly shop who confirmed to a surprised Ken Barlow that Jon Lindsay was the shop manager - a far cry from the airline pilot Jon had implied to be to Ken's ex-wife, Deirdre Rachid. Long-term friend and neighbour Emily Bishop advised that Deirdre should be told about Jon's true occupation. A shocked Deirdre confronted Jon at the shop and told him that she never wanted to see him again, however Deirdre soon forgave him.
