I know but Ken and Roy are very different people. Maybe not so quickly but i cannot understand why they are having these scenes with Audrey unless its leading to something

I do think that might happen in the future but I doubt the Corrie team are even contemplating it so soon after Anne's death.

Corrie bosses plan emotional funeral for Deirdre Barlow -
Coronation Street bosses are planning a big, emotional funeral for Anne Kirkbride’s character Deirdre Barlow.
Ever since the iconic actress’ death the soap’s writing team having been trying to come up with a fitting exit for her much-loved character.
But while the exact cause of Deirdre’s death has yet to be revealed, it has been confirmed that she will have a big Weatherfield funeral.
A source told the Sun: “It will the equivalent to a state funeral in soap terms. All the current cast will be there and there may be some old favourites brought back to pay their respects.
“Filming it will be incredibly tough for the actors. They were all so close to her as a person that they’ll be thinking of her - and her passing - on the day.”

I wonder which old favourites will be back for the funeral

Quite a few I should think- who have worked
with Anne over many years actor who played
Billy Walker- perhaps Mavis- Bev.
Not the fraudulent pilot!!

Sadly a lot of the older actors have died since
character last appeared.

I did wonder if the screen funeral might be
a reason for Robert Preston coming back -
as Dierdre seemed to like him.

Dupl

I thought that but the bit that is confusing is his wife joins him later on
