My prediction is that he cannot escape a custodial sentence so he will probably get 2 years with one year suspended.... So could only serve 6 Months inside( probably in solitary confinement ).

He was Arrested again

These are, of course, additional charges - IIRC, he is due up in court again on Monday on the charge of double underage rape in 1967 .....

Unfortunately he's going to find out it's not as free as he expected. Maybe in fact there could be a heavy price to pay....!!!

Well I'm glad he has been brought to book, no wonder they are bring back so many old faces to Corrie, 1 and possibly two of the existing cast will not be returning. We will never see Ken in his silky dressing gown again :

Bring back the battersbys!
I hardly watch molestation street, it's sooooo boring now

Keep in mind you're discussing an on going case.

Honestly, even if he's found innocent, I don't really want Bill Roache back at Corrie, he's a sub standard actor, and he's a bit of a bigotted looney.

[Kizzy]

Me either, how he made a living from playing himself I don't know! There is totally zero acting involved in his ken character... That's just him chewy

[Scarlett.]

Indeed, the only reason the guy was still in the show was because he's been there since the start, he was untouchable until now.

Phillip Lowrie (Dennis Tanner) is the much better actor out of the two first episode cast left.

[Kizzy]

He and dierdre have been the streets biggest let downs, the constant love affairs.... have you seen the pair of them?
Aw my mums fave was elsie tanner, I like rita

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, that's basicially been all Ken has had to do the past 10 years lol, I think Deirdre is a better character on her own. Elsie was great I'm glad they finally explained what happened to her when Dennis returned

Coronation Street actor William Roache has appeared in court facing historical sexual offences against five girls.

Mr Roache, 81, was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, in May and was charged with two counts of rape of a girl aged 15 in Haslingden in 1967.

The actor, who plays Ken Barlow, last week faced new charges of five indecent assaults involving four girls aged from 12 to 16. He denies all the charges.

At Preston Crown Court he was bailed to appear again on 2 September.

A provisional trial date was set for 13 January

He looks well for 81....!!!!
