Coronation Street: Ken's absence to be explained *spoilers*
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3...w-absence.html
In the Coronation Street double bill airing on Friday, July 12, Ken's absence will be worked into the storyline as his wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) reveals that he has flown off to Canada. Ken makes the last-minute trip to support his grandson Adam, who is unwell after suffering a shock collapse. Deirdre tells Tracy: "Canada is a long way away and he's got no other family. Blacking out like that is frightening, and he collapsed at work." Tracy replies: "So dad just drops everything. You know something, I can't imagine he would ever do anything like that for me." |

Finally.
After weeks of pretending Deidre had accidentally hoovered him up when vacuuming the carpet. |

Adam finally gets a mention! Wonder is Peter gets a reaction to him being unwell, after all he they did live together for years. Or are we meant to forget that?

Maybe Adam could return to help Peter at the bookies. After all, they opened a betting shop in Portsmouth six years ago.

I'm shocked Ken has a valid passport, he hasn't been further than Martha's houseboat in years!

Why even bother? Its not like he has been missed with his clunky acting.

Is that the best excuse they could come up with to explain his absence? It does sound very unlikely.

I guess, if it comes to it he can always meet another woman over there and never return. So it does set that up nicely.

I'd imagine that should he not return, personally I don't think he will, then he will be killed off screen in a moose related accident maybe. |

I shouldn't laugh at the above - but I did! ![]() ![]() ![]() Well at least they've come up with something I suppose. Was getting a bit ridiculous him never being mentioned at all. I wonder if we'll see one-sided phone calls with Deirdre shouting down the phone to Canada! As much as I'd love his possible exit to be drowning in a vat of maple syrup and being eaten by a moose, if worst comes to worst they'll just have him meeting a woman and staying over there won't they? Cue lots of Deirdre wailing about the injustice of it all after she put up with him for years etc. Bit of a crap ending for a legendary character but what else can they do? |

I thought he was stood playing the fruit machine in The Rovers with his back to the camera in last night's second episode but maybe not.

Adam Barlow is the son of Kens late daughter Susan, Mike Baldwin was his father.
At last an explanation, it's about time Adam was mentioned again. Didn't know he was in Canada, the last mention was that he was in Portsmouth. |
