Spoiler Ken's ex-lover returns - guess who!?

[Barbara Fan]

We can exclusively reveal that Ken's ex-lover Wendy Crozier, played by actress Roberta Kerr, is set to return to Coronation Street.

she is a blast from the past

Ken will encounter Wendy once more when she arrives at Bessie Street School as a potential new governor and they find they are both up for the same role.

Although he is initially shocked by their reunion, the pair hit it off again. However, Ken decides it might be wiser to keep her appearance a secret from Deirdre, even though he is adamant that nothing will happen again between the two of them.

But will Wendy be happy to remain just good friends or would she like to turn back the clock to their affair? And what would Deirdre say if she learnt of Wendy's return and Ken's secretive behaviour?

Wendy previously had an affair with Ken in 1989 and this contributed to his first divorce from Deirdre, although he later regretted leaving his wife and daughter Tracy behind.

Producer Phil Collinson, said: "Ken's affair with Wendy was one of Coronation Street's defining stories during the 80's. Viewers were on the edge of their seats as they watched the disintegration of The Barlows' marriage and over 20 years later I hope they will be again. I'm delighted to welcome Roberta back as Wendy and can assure viewers that her reunion with Ken will be one of many must see storylines this summer'"

Before I opened the thread I thought Martha? Marion Lund? But even better Wendy Crozier, aka Jan Glover.

[Englishboy]

Yes, I too thought it was going to be Martha or Captain Crumpet as Peter Barlow used to call her

But is bringing Wendy Crozier back a sign that they are running out of ideas?

Interesting also that her husband Ned was also played by a former Corrie actor in the form of Johnny Leeze who was milkman, Harry Clayton in the Street in 1985.

Maybe, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

capt Crumpet I had forgotten that one

I always remember Blanche saying at the classic AA meeting
she lived on a tugboat and Ken says It was a barge

the one thing I remember about Wendy Crozier was

she had a funny nose!! thats about all I remember!!

[Emmerdalefan]

Turkey Neck needs to ditch those low cut blouses she wears. Maybe that will make Ken go back to Wendy .

He also turned up a few years ago in a very small part (no lines IIRC) as Warren Baldwin's football coach.

I don't think Phil Middlemiss could now return. Thankfully, his character (Des Barnes) was killed off

[mztx71]

Hope Katherine Kelly does come back!

[Sarah]

I don't remember her at all! But I love it when dirty Ken has an affair!

In one of our local papers today, it is revealed that Bill Roache once travelled over here in the late 1970s and even dabbled in a bit of lawnmower racing.
