ITV Corrie fans can't believe Stephanie Beacham's age as she returns as Martha

Coronation Street fans have been delighted to see a soap legend back on the famous cobbles. Dynasty icon Stephanie is gracing our screens again as Ken Barlow's former flame Martha Fraser.

Stephanie, who played Sable Colby in the American soap operas The Colbys and Dynasty, was last seen in Corrie in 2009. She and fellow literature lover Ken met and began an affair when his dog Eccles chased after some ducks while walking along the canal and fell into the freezing water.
