We can exclusively reveal that James Roache, real-life son of William Roache (Ken), is set to return to the cobbles, following his introduction earlier in 2010.

James joined the show alongside his older brother Linus Roache, where they played father and son. Linus was cast as Lawrence, Ken's son he didn't know he had, until a lost letter from his ex-girlfriend Susan revealed the truth.

James played Lawence's son, also called James, who was in turn Ken's grandson. Unfortunately Ken found that Lawrence held strong homophobic views and clashed with James, who was gay.

In the story, Ken was shocked by Lawrence's opinions and tried to mediate between father and son, without great success.

Corrie have yet to reveal how James will return to the Street, but he is expected to begin filming in March 2011.
