‘Corrie’ bosses have now revealed the details of Ken’s first storyline of 2014, explaining that Ken and his wife Deirdre, played by Anne Kirkbride, will be bringing some humour to the show.
“I can’t wait to see Bill back on screen,” Executive producer Stuart Blackburn told The Mirror. “I’m going to give Ken and Deirdre a little holiday – a caravan in North Wales. What could possibly go wrong?

Ken and Deirdre’s family will be under a lot of stress in coming months as Peter and Tracey will both be key suspects in the Tina McIntyre murder investigation.
The holiday storyline will bring some much-needed hilarity to the soap, as the residents of Weatherfield will be reeling from the shock death of Tina McIntyre.
Michael Le Vell also made his ‘Corrie’ comeback recently, however rather than appearing as mechanic Kevin Webster, Le Vell has been directing some scenes.
