Speaking as a previous landlord of The Flying Horse, back in the days when we regularly used to thrash those gut-lords from the Rovers, I hope the standards I helped set will continue to be adhered to.
I have high hopes too, must admit, especially now they've appointed a former Olympic swimmer as the new landlord.
He was bloody superb at Seoul in '88.
Although looking at the pic, he's certainly let himself go a tad since.

I want to see Debbie Arnold again as Carole Evans (the landlady of the Weathy Arms) - she had a rival thing with Stella.
I was just going to say that. Was she unavailable perhaps? Maybe she would have been chosen if Stella was still at the helm or she could have faced off against Liz or Michelle, but I guess now that Steve is sort of running the place, they wanted another guy to go against him. So they chose Dean at the Flying Horse. Seems like just a short stint though.

The Flying Horse. I think it's been referenced a few times, like the Weatherfield Arms. Not on the street.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
He has been in it before as a character named Duggie.
He's a comedian on the circuit, nothing major
Beat me to the punch Joe_Zel. Just what I was thinking.
Went right off him when he used to present the afternoon slot on Key103... proper tool... >:(
bib: Yes. It was previously run by Stella Rigby, who used to appear in Corrie now and then, when Bet ran the Rovers.
And yes, more "comedy" capers beckon for Flipping Steve. "yawns"
