We can exclusively reveal that James Roache, real-life son of William Roache (Ken), is set to return to the cobbles, following his introduction earlier in 2010.
James joined the show alongside his older brother Linus Roache, where they played father and son. Linus was cast as Lawrence, Ken's son he didn't know he had, until a lost letter from his ex-girlfriend Susan revealed the truth.
James played Lawence's son, also called James, who was in turn Ken's grandson. Unfortunately Ken found that Lawrence held strong homophobic views and clashed with James, who was gay.
In the story, Ken was shocked by Lawrence's opinions and tried to mediate between father and son, without great success.
Corrie have yet to reveal how James will return to the Street, but he is expected to begin filming in March 2011.

Hopefully they won't bundle him up with Sean though.
Well it'd be dumb to recast him after his one off appearance :rolleyes:
I meant first time round
Wonder if it is full time or another guest stint?
Ken, Deirdre, Peter, Leanne, Simon, Tracy, Amy and James. The Barlow's are expanding well. They should recast Adam Barlow and Daniel and just complete the set for the first time?
That made me feel a bit queasy...how awful if so
In fairness that wouldn't be hard.
Fantastic news. I hoped this would happen.
Do you think Linus would come back as well in a guest star capacity?
Coronation Street has lined up some well-known people to join the show in 2011!
oh god, dont say that! it would be truley awful and unrealistic
Well they're announcing his return three or four months before we might see it
In 2011 Coronation Street will have added Rula Lenska, Chris Fountain, Stephanie Cole, Andrew Lancel and James Roache to it's cast. This is really fantastic news for the show!
