Nessa, Cathy Matthews sister
Ken Barlow is set to find a new admirer on the cobbles.
Ken, played by Bill Roache, will catch the eye of Cathy's widowed sister in episodes airing in September, reports The Sun.
Nessa, who is described as "a man-eater", will upset Ken's friends with her advances towards the soap's long-running character.
But it's not clear whether Ken will reciprocate Nessa's forward feelings so soon after losing Deirdre.
Roache recently revealed that he has no plans to retire from Coronation Street any time soon.
"People always ask when I'm going to retire and I say not anytime soon," he said. "If you want to keep young, you have to keep going. The fact I have to learn so many lines is good for me. I love the Street and everybody in it."
