Luke "Quinny" Quinn was a British army trainee who made friends with Gary Windass while serving in the army. Quinny first visited Weatherfield with Gary in February 2010, when Gary returned to see his family. While there, Quinny flirted with Rosie Webster and was surprised to learn that Gary had once slept with Rosie. On 22nd February, Quinny received a telephone call from his mother to inform him that his brother, also serving with the army, had been hit by a roadside bomb and lost his legs and right arm. The event made Quinny even more determined to do his country proud.
