Ken Barlow - has he left for good?

[osprey]

So, has he left for good or is it - as I suspect - that William Roache has been written out of the show for a while so that he can mourn the unfortunate death of his wife?

[dustypuss]

I dont know weather he will leave but he was certainly rocking the boat last night . Dirty sod

[dot.haukes]

that's right, how many kids does he have by other womnen than his 3 (or is it 4 ) wives, where is his brother David BTW, they emigrated and I knoiw Irma died but where are David's kids?

God thats funny postie, a postman feeling sorry for a dog lol.
Do you reckon that eccles could be his screen name on here then?

[knobbynonut5]

God blanch is back

[rosyposy]

I think it was 28 at the last count!!! (and that was before the lovely Martha!!!)

[Ethel]

Ken's had 3 wives - Valerie, Janet and Deidre
3 biological children - Susan, Peter and Daniel.
I adopted child - Tracey.

David died in a car crash in Australia in 1970 - he had only one son, Darren, and he died the next day (from the same crash).

I dont know if I was being 'wound' up last night but apparently Stephanie 'the gorj' Beacham is deaf .Not a handicap but she is a bleeding brill actress if thats true.

I do feel for Ken cos I would love to have that lifestyle as well -see when they were having their 'apres' -I wanted to be scoffing the cheeses and bread and red wine -it was all just so Ken.I love that barge.

They are making Deirdre out to be such a loud commoner tho -we can get the contrast without it being so in our faces.

[Booldawg]

I agree with Bazza. Martha is an absolute stunning looking woman for an older lady. You can keep your Helen Mirrens :-)

[Ethel]

Stephanie is completely deaf in one hear, and has 75% hearing in the other. She has been this way since birth as her mother contracted chicken pox when she was pregnant.

[atsgran]

Yes Drisgirl she does have a hearing problem, heard that when she was doing Tenko

[Ethel]

One hear! I meant one ear, obviously. :)

[Postdog]

Actually, I quite fancy deidre - I like a bit of rough now and then.

[dot.haukes]

Oh right Ethel, and so is Irma still alive? I thought it was her that died. I used to like David, he read stories on a show for the kids when they were small.

[knobbynonut5]

I fancy eccles

[dustypuss]

I fancy Blanch

[Ethel]

Anne Kirkbride (Deidre) is not a bad artist:

[Drisgirl]

Well if she has had been hard of hearing since birth its not a handicap then -she is stunning isnt she?

Thats hellish postdog -Deirdre is not normally as rough as boars sh!t pmsl !!

I dont think he will go with her -I personally would just for the jolly -I really love that barge so much that I fancy a Norfolk Broads trip at some point -do you think they have made it seem too idyllic?

[Ethel]

dot, we can only assume Irma is alive and well in Australia.

[Drisgirl]

WOW -her paintings are stunning and have captured the essence of Spain !!

[Ethel]

Sorry, dot - Irma came back from Australia.
