Despite his feelings for Wendy, it’s not long before his head is turned once more by the charms of actress Martha, and yet again, the elderly lothario finds himself in a classic soap love triangle.
William Roache said: “I was delighted when Wendy came back into Ken’s life. I love that the writers are drawing on the rich history of Ken’s life to come up with these stories.
"When I found out that Martha was also going to make a return I was thrilled, but I fear heartache may be round the corner once more for Ken now he has found himself in another love triangle.”
Stephanie Beacham said: “I am delighted that Martha has returned to Weatherfield. It is an absolute joy to be working with Bill again.”
Martha will arrive on the cobbles on November 23.
