Donald Michael "Don" Brennan is a fictional character from the British soap opera Coronation Street.
The character Don first came to Weatherfield in 1987 as a taxi driver who first became acquainted with local resident Ivy Tilsley (Lynne Perrie) when she became one of his early fares.
Don had two daughters and a son from his first marriage to a woman named Pat before she died back in 1981, but none of his children or his mother Bridget ever appeared again after the wedding episode.
In February 1989, Don comforted Ivy when her son Brian (Christopher Quinten) was stabbed to death outside a nightclub following the break-up of his marriage with her estranged daughter-in-law Gail (Helen Worth).
Later, Don and Ivy's own marriage crumbled due to her erratic behaviour over preserving Brian's memory and that of her late spouse Bert.
He was on good terms with Ivy's longtime companion Vera Duckworth (Liz Dawn) and became close friends with the latter's husband Jack (Bill Tarmey), whom he often spent time with at the Rovers Return Inn.
At one point they joined most of the residents, including fellow neighbour Alf Roberts (Bryan Mosley), in standing up to local villain Alan Bradley (Mark Eden) inside the pub after he was accused of trying to kill shopkeeper Rita Fairclough (Barbara Knox).
Over the course of these events, Don developed a gambling problem and ended up owing a lot of money to people such as factory owner Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs).
Don and Josie planned to make a fortune by purchasing Mike's garage from him, only to discover that he had tricked them into buying it for an inflated price.
He attempted to get Kevin and his colleague Tony Horrocks (Lee Warburton) to go into partnership with him, but they refused because of to Don's poor decision-making.
As a last resort, he planned to embezzle Nick's inheritance by tricking him into investing his money in the garage; however, Martin discovered this and put a stop to it before telling Don to stay away from the family.
Later he attempted to commit suicide in the garage, but was found by Kevin and Martin, and Gail then learned about the extent of Don's depression.
Don then decided to target Mike's wife Alma Sedgewick (Amanda Barrie), and began unsettling her with his presence at multiple encounters.
While on the run, Don found out his house had been sold to new owner Les Battersby (Bruce Jones), and later visited Ashley to make peace with him as well.
After visiting Brian's grave, Don resolved to kill Mike, and ambushed him at his factory, knocking him out and holding him captive.
Don lost control of the car and crashed into the viaduct; Mike escaped unharmed, but Don was killed when the car exploded in a fireball on impact with him inside the vehicle, witnessed by Mike along with Rita and his arch-rival Ken Barlow (William Roache), both of whom had heard the commotion.
The resulting stain of Don's fatal car crash and subsequent vehicle explosion would be evident for many years on the viaduct.
In September 1987, Rita Fairclough called at his house after she spotted Martin in Weatherfield when she had believed him to be in France with Jenny Bradley.
Amy soon sets her roots in Coronation Street, nagging Jack about his pigeons and developing an addiction for the slot machine in the public bar of the Rovers Return Inn.
In December 1987, Hilda Ogden quits her job at the Rovers Return Inn, ahead of her retirement from Weatherfield to Hartington, Derbyshire.
Meanwhile, Amy causes trouble for the area's elder menfolk, accusing Percy Sugden of lechery, and telling Sam Tindall that he is "gorgeous".
However, Amy herself falls into trouble when Sally Webster sees her shoplifting from Alf Roberts's shop, and then giving them to Vera as "presents".
