I told them soaps have nothing to do with reality most of the time.
Corrie started in abt 1960 and Ken was a student then.Quote:

There have been a few other young characters who went

like the icon!
You summed up Ken well. He does think he is better than others. Gets on Deirdres nerves with it all as he always treats her as she is thick! She puts him in hs place when he does it though. Love the woman. One thing that is realistic in a city like Manchester you only have 2 universities to choose from so likely that you will have to leave to study like I had to.
