Have they gone into the same bermuda triangle as Sean and Violet's baby, Ryan and Alex?

Ken's son, Lawrence, lives in Leeds, and Ken does not maintain contact with him since they fell out over Lawrence's homophobia. The grandson, James, lives somewhere relatively near, and has kept in loose contact with Ken - sent him a card on his birthday, at least. Ken and Peter had a brief conversation about it at the time.

The grandson is coming back for a brief stint...the whole long-lost son scenario was so contrived, anyhow...

It was mostly just stunt casting, but at the time the main point of the story seemed mostly to provide a kind of commentary on Ken's frustrated aspirations, shortcomings and relationship with Peter - who is the only one of his children that he actually does have a relationship with. As his abortive attempt at getting to know Lawrence reminded him.

With regards to ken's son and grandson, both of the actors only ever had so much time off to film CS. However, they both always said once they had more free time, they'd go back to film some more.. which is what the one plays the grandson is doing now (name gone blank).

And was loving it so much that he didn't come back home over Christmas and New Year. Not that Michele seemed to mind much. That's two sons who've just disappeared without a trace now.

William Roache was on 'This Morning' a couple of Fridays back and said both his sons will be joining him again on the Street very soon for another stint on the show, now Linus is free. Apparently the reason behind the homophobia is to be explained.

Just repeating what I heard.

I think that may have been due to Kym Marsh's pregnancy. Notice Michelle seem to vanish without trace just before the tram crash and it was explained by saying she was visiting Ryan in Glasgow.

Maybe the original plan was to bring Ryan back but when Kym announced she was pregnant the writers had to have a re-think and with Michelle not around there was no point in bringing Ryan back

Why on earth would he want to go back home after moving out?
