His hair won't move, it'll be in the same style, Deirdre will rattle her chain belt at him and he won't slam her up against the ginnel wall ..... Just see how right I am!

Get yourself a life....................
It was great having Ken back tonight and he's looking great considering the horrendous ordeal Bill Roache has been through the last 18 months or so.

Not excusing his affairs at all, but it amazes me some still believe in that sensationalist headline.

Thanks, I wish people would read the article than just looking at the obvious sensationalist headline and taking it as fact.
Any excuse to try and get on their high horse.

I agree, I am glad to see him back. He is part of Corrie and been there through its history.

I didn't miss him either.
Did Adam travel with him?
Appalling acting. I really don't remember Mr Roache being that bad an actor. What a pity.
And really daft script - why didn't you call me and tell me to come home?
The script writers wouldn't let me, Ken.
Poor Deirdre.

Poor Deirdre.
And that was more rubbish, Ken.
Deirdre did not see Peter grow up; he grew up in Scotland, remember?

Couldn't agree more, I'm fed up of these Daily Fail readers
Welcome back Ken....I've missed ya! !!
Scenes between him and Dierdre tonight was classic.....didn't think I would have laughed out loud. ...but it couldn't be helped! !! Whether these 2 are happy or angry with each other, its classic moments! !
As for the sleazebag comment....Mr Roache was found NOT GUILTY....so get over yourself! !!:

I enjoyed it as well, felt bad for Deirdre but her crying is hilarious.
Glad to see Tracy back to supporting mode, an improvement over the way she was behaving last week with Maddeh and Sawfie. She is doing better in this storyline.
Deirdre was great in the year or so Ken has been gone, he's only been back one episode and she's already annoying me.
I much prefer her on her own.

You mean that she is expected to do some actual acting than behave like a silly comedy character and be reduced to a joke?
Barlow embarrassed himself there tonight. We all know Roaches acting is as dynamic as a plant pot, but jesus, that was bad. Superb comedy value. Corrie really is becoming Acorn Antiques.

They should never have this woman crying. There are no tears

She's better at the general everyday scenes and the one liners than the crying and screaming.
He looks so different to when he was in the soap last year , he's lost weight an I think his voice sounded rather odd not as loud not as clear sounded like he had had dental work or something that was making him sound lisped aww well I always think I notice these things an others don't so its prob just me tho

I noticed a change in his voice as well. He also looks older
I thought his acting was off and his voice sounded strange but I guess even having a long break and the ordeal he went through can make you break habits so put it down to nerves even after 50 odd years.

So did i. It's because it was funny
I laughed at that bit too, in fact all of Dierdre's crying was hilarious. I think its great Ken is back and it was great to see the pair of them together again already at each other's throats. The acting was very ropey but I'm willing to let that slide as he has been away for a while, he looked a lot thinner too but that could be down to becoming a vegetarian, I think he could do with a big steak!

I`m glad I wasn`t the only one.
In years to come when that clip in shown in anniversary shows and specials, I`ll probably still laugh.....just like the scene where Gail threw a Manchester tart in Deidres face.
