Simply have someone dress up in one of his sweaters with a white wig, then film long shot and don't show his face. Then go through the archives of Ken Barlow and use voice clips and insert them into the episode.

Example
Deirdre: "Oh Ken, Peter has been arrested"
Ken: (archive clip) "This is so frustrating"

Thoughts? I mean I understand them wanting to take it slowly with Bill, but Ken's absence is felt during this storyline. For a character who has been in it 53 years I am sure they can splice together dialogue. I know it is daft, but better than nothing.

I was hoping they wouldve written it better so ken comes back while the house is being searched. Deidre hasnt told him anything so imagine him turning up to the house all taped off and covered in csis!

Thats how i wouldve written his return in.

Why stop at Ken ?

Let's have someone dress up in a Blanche style wig, just have back shots and use some of her classic phrases. It'd be a damn sight better than what we've got on these days.

Let's face it, the time Blackburn is finished it will be him sitting in a room with tens of finger puppets for actors, doing all the character voices

They could take lessons from Norman Bates.

Ken doesn't even know about Peter does he?
