Stephanie Beacham as Martha

So does Ken have another affair?

[Perdita]

He is certainly tempted to get physical, dirty little beggar. Deirdre is bound to find out. He might not be cheating on her physically yet but certainly mentally

[LostVoodoo]

tbh, i sympathise with Ken in this situation. all he gets at home is stress and bickering and no thanks. you can't blame him for enjoying the company of someone who is interested in what he says and isn't surrounded by shouting. but yeah, getting it on with her would not be a good move.

[Perdita]

But surely he should sit down and discuss things with Deirdre and tell her how he is feeling rather than going behind her back, lying to Martha about him being a widower. But then they both have always dealt with their relationship problems by going off with other people

I know what you mean. I think it's nice to have friends of the opposite sex.

Stephanie Beacham has hinted that she may return to Coronation Street as Ken Barlow's love interest Martha Fraser.

The 62-year-old actress played the role of Ken's (William Roache) 'other woman' Martha for three months between January and May this year, before she sailed off down a canal alone.

That would be great news if true. I would love to see the aging lothario shack up with Martha just to hear the reaction of Blanche

Bring Steph back, then Ken can dump the two moaning old trouts, especially the mother-in-law.

At least Steph, put a spakle in randy Ken's eye. She is so more his style, and class.

Hope its true, loved the character and actress!

well Monday's episode just showed how better off Ken would be without Deidre and Blanche!

I'd love for Martha to come back full time, sure it would ruffle some feathes amongst the locals, especially the older ones. Give Norris something to have a gossip about!
