Vernon Tomlin is a fictional character of the ITV1 soap opera Coronation Street, portrayed by Ian Reddington. A musician in a pub and club band (The Rhythm Rascals), he dated Liz McDonald until she dumped him after finding out he made a pass at singer and barmaid Michelle Connor. Vernon left the Street for a couple of months, but returned to try and charm Liz again in November 2006, just after Steve had bought the Rovers. Vernon became the new potman and cellarman, although he is shamelessly work-shy and often looks for excuses not to work. He proposed to Liz in 2007, unaware that she was enjoying a fling with brewery delivery man Derek, until Derek confessed all on July 15.

Vernon was prepared to leave Weatherfield, but returned after Liz made a Motown compilation tape which she gave to Lloyd Mullaney to play in his cab en route to the airport.

Vernon eventually relented and returned to Liz. The couple were due to tie the knot in a special New Years episode which was complicated by Jim McDonald's return, when Jim, having had everyone think that he'd turned over a new leaf, savagely beat Vernon up at the back of the Rovers, and also hitting Bob, the keyboard player with the band. Steve jumped in and stopped the beating, and seeing his father hadn't changed, sent him away for good. [1]

A battered and bloodied Vernon finally married Liz at the Registry office on New Years Eve 2007.
