Coronation Street will see a comeback for legendary character Wendy Crozier next week after more than a decade away from Weatherfield. Wendy, a former Weatherfield Council secretary, famously had an affair with Ken Barlow in 1989 leading to his first divorce from his wife Deirdre.
In 2012, then a widowed governor at Bessie Street School, she attempted to rekindle her romance with Ken but he rejected her. Wendy makes a return to the cobbles as Abi Webster continues her fight for custody over baby Alfie after the death of his father Imran Habeeb.
A judge orders that Alfie be placed with Abi in a mother and baby foster facility where she will be assessed. And she is introduced to Wendy Papadapoulos, their foster carer. When Abi reveals she’s from Coronation Street, Wendy keeps her counsel.
