Ken barlow how old is he

The job lasted until , when Ken was made redundant. He found work as a taxi driver, and surprised himself by enjoying it. When Ken picked up Janet and her date Vince Denton in his taxi, he was jealous to see his wife with another man. Later that year, some of Ken's former pupils were caught stealing magazines from The Kabin. Ken felt some responsibility towards them but when he gave them a telling off they let the tyres down on his taxi and wrecked his house, and Kevin Marsh told his dad that Ken had assaulted him.

However when Mr. Marsh saw the state of Ken's house he offered him money not to tell the police. The boys hid in the warehouse storeroom but a discarded cigarette started a fire which gutted the warehouse and killed Edna Gee. Ken played the hero by saving Tricia Hopkins who was trapped in a toilet. In early , Wendy Nightingale came to the centre to conduct a survey on reading habits, and Ken let her run a Literary Appreciation class at the centre.

Ken and Wendy flirted but Wendy put paid to Ken's attempts to get her into bed. Wendy was married but after a meal at Ken's house she agreed to stay the night. Ken didn't pressure Wendy to leave her husband but wanted to know where he stood. Wendy's husband Roger found out about the affair and assaulted Ken. Wendy left Roger but it was a few weeks before she agreed to move in with Ken. The Centre committee disapproved of Ken's philandering and told him if he continued to live with a married woman he would lose his job as given his association with the Centre his behaviour reflected on them.

Ken was willing to fight the ultimatum, but Roger persuaded Wendy to return to him anyway. Heartbroken and disappointed in his colleagues on the committee, Ken intended to quit his job and leave Weatherfield but stayed on when he realised Uncle Albert, now 81, needed someone to care for him.

Ken moved out of No. Ken was surprised when Janet turned up at his door in early , having been kicked out by Vince. She tried to persuade Vince to take her back, but when that failed she asked Ken to give their relationship another go. Ken wasn't interested in a reconciliation but let her stay the night. Janet took an overdose during the night and was dead by the time she was taken to hospital in the morning. Ken was questioned by the police but it was quickly determined that Janet's death was suicide.

Despite the state Janet had been in, Ken blamed himself for her death. After Janet's death, Ken was involved in a dispute with Vince over the money he and Janet had invested in a building society. Ken took the moral high ground and gave Janet's share to her sister. When Peter came down for a visit in , Ken fell down a ravine during a walking outing and crushed his leg. Peter got help and Ken found he had torn ligaments.

Afterwards, Peter turned down another chance to move to Weatherfield. The following year, Ken took out Uncle Albert's chiropodist Sally Robson , a divorcee and single parent. Neither was interested in a serious relationship but Sally's daughter Philippa wanted a father. The relationship didn't last. In December Ken started teaching illiterate Karen Barnes to read and write. Karen wanted to write to her husband Dave in prison. Dave didn't like Ken teaching Karen, but only because he couldn't read either and didn't want Karen to find out.

When Dave got out of prison he let himself into No. Ken didn't phone the police as he feared Dave would convince Karen to confess to lying about an affair in court. He stopped Karen's lessons. In , Ken organised a disco at the centre and invited Deirdre Langton to go with him. Ken began to pursue her despite Deirdre being over a decade younger than him, not yet divorced from estranged husband Ray Langton and having a two-year-old daughter Tracy.

Billy Walker competed with Ken for Deirdre's affections but Deirdre turned down Billy's offer of a new life in Jersey to stay in Weatherfield. Ken and Deirdre's relationship developed rapidly, with Ken taking Deirdre and Tracy for a holiday after only a few months. Ray filed for a divorce, citing Ken as a co-respondent. Deirdre was angry that Ken now wanted to distance himself from her to protect his reputation and his job, as he wanted to avoid the trouble his relationship with Wendy Nightingale caused him.

Eventually however Ken had a change of heart and stayed with Deirdre. In , Ken was a little perturbed when he realised the now-divorced Deirdre hinted that she was expecting a proposal.

This split them up, with Ken citing their age difference as the reason they were unsuited to each other. In , Ken asked Deirdre out again, but although Deirdre agreed she stood him up to go out with Dirk van der Stek , a colleague of Ray's. Ken tried to be a gentleman and didn't stand in Deirdre's way as she continued to see Dirk.

He was jealous as Deirdre went away to Amsterdam to stay with Dirk. However Dirk was soon out of the way as he moved back to Amsterdam, and Deirdre rekindled her relationship with Ken despite a grumpy Uncle Albert's disapproval. Ken marries Deirdre Langton , Returning from a conference in Huddersfield , Ken's car broke down on the moors, preventing him from getting to a date with Deirdre.

In Ken's absence, Deirdre accepted a dinner invitation from local businessman Mike Baldwin. Ken found himself edged out as Deirdre continued to see Mike. Jealous, Ken proposed to Deirdre as a knee-jerk reaction to get her away from Mike, but Deirdre turned him down as he was too unreliable. On the rebound, Ken asked out beautician Sonia Price and she accompanied him to Mike's flat-warming party.

The night turned out best for all concerned as Mike took an interest in Sonia and took her to a nightclub after the party. Feeling taken for granted, Deirdre finished with Mike and once again ended up with Ken. After a trip to Glasgow together, Ken proposed to Deirdre and she accepted.

Though they found a house, they decided to live at No. In , Ken was consulted by the police regarding a spate of recent muggings in the area. Deirdre thought local youth Raymond Attwood was behind the muggings but Ken refused to contact the police without proof, as given his job it wouldn't reflect well on him if she was wrong.

When Ken still refused to do anything after Betty Turpin was mugged, Deirdre went behind his back and phoned the police herself. Attwood turned out to be the mugger, but Ken felt betrayed by Deirdre, who was adamant she had done the right thing. As the marriage wore on, Deirdre was getting bored by the lack of excitement in her and Ken's relationship.

She queried Ken over the issue of having another child, and after some deliberation he decided he was open to the idea. Annoyed by Ken's apparent lack of interest in her, Deirdre found a confidante in Mike Baldwin, who did his best to lure her away from Ken. They soon started a love affair, although Deirdre deceived Ken by telling him she was seeing a friend.

Deirdre enjoyed the uncertainty of a relationship with Mike compared to the safe, steady one she had with Ken. Oblivious to his wife's adultery, Ken at the time was worried about a Social Services job he had applied for.

When he didn't get it, he learned it was because the committee thought that he didn't have enough drive. Deirdre despaired as Ken sulked about it - she told him he was too boring and admitted to her affair.

As they rowed about it, Ken refused to let Deirdre blame him, telling her nothing could excuse what she did. He told her to move out but she was able to change his mind by showing that she was committed to him rather than Mike. Deirdre suggested she and Ken move. They were ready to buy a house at Buxton Close but Albert convinced them to buy No. The sale was opposed by Albert's daughter Beattie Pearson , who thought Ken was stealing her inheritance, but Ken reminded her that he had done a lot more to take care of Albert over the years than she had.

In May , Ken was persuaded by Pamela Mitchell , a journalist from the Weatherfield Recorder newspaper, to write an article about road safety in the local area, but he wasn't happy as Pam edited his words before publishing the article. However he still allowed himself to be talked into taking on an agony column for the Recorder despite it not being his area of expertise.

Ken developed a good working relationship with Pam and gave her a confidential report from the Town Hall proving that figures showing the Youth Clubs weren't being used were fabricated.

He was pleased to see the chaos it caused the Council and readily admitted to being the mole. He expected to lose his job but was offered a new contract which stipulated that he wouldn't leak any more information. Ken refused, telling his boss Peter Bromley that his job was to serve the community, not hide things from them. Ken was sacked. When Pam left the Recorder to move to Nottingham , Ken applied for her job.

Ken agreed, and paid for it using his redundancy money and all of his and Deirdre's savings. Ken soon realised his new job wasn't what he had hoped. He seized the opportunity to write a damning article about Mike's Graffiti Club , but since the Recorder was a free newspaper and the Graffiti was a major advertiser Statham intervened before Ken published the article and made him write a glowing report of the Club and praise Mike's public spirit.

When the Recorder was printed, Mike took great pleasure in thanking Ken for the endorsement. In Uncle Albert died, aged He spread rumours that Ken was having an affair with Sally, although they had only kissed. Deirdre confronted Ken about the accusation and he admitted to the kiss but not an affair. In , Susan moved back to Weatherfield, interested in taking a job at the Recorder. When she arrived she became friendly with none other than Mike Baldwin, and spent New Year with him in London.

When Ken heard that Mike was allowing Susan to live with him, he marched over to Mike's factory Baldwin's Casuals and hit him to the floor. To Ken's dismay, Susan and Mike were engaged within a short time. Ken told Susan he wasn't going to attend her wedding, but that only made everyone turn against him so he pretended to have a change of heart and threw Susan and Peter an expensive joint 21st birthday party, giving him an excuse to suggest Susan and Mike postpone the wedding as he now wouldn't be able to afford it for a while.

He also invited Susan's friends from Glasgow and Newcastle to make Mike look out of place due to his age, but Mike won Susan over by buying her a car and offering to pay for the wedding himself. At the last minute Ken decided to give Susan away at the wedding.

In , Ken wrote an article criticising the independent Councillors. The local labour party asked Ken to stand in the elections. Ken agreed though this meant he was against neighbour and Deirdre's employer Alf Roberts. Ken and Alf enjoyed a rivalry, with Ken slamming Alf in the Recorder , but the conflict of interest caused the newspaper owner to ask Ken to either withdraw from the election or lose his job. Ken was delighted when Deirdre stood as an independent in the election in his place and beat Alf.

Later that year, Ken supported Susan when she split up with Mike. Susan had got pregnant but when she told Mike she had had an abortion he finished with her. Susan moved back to Newcastle. In Statham told Ken he was going to sell the Recorder and although Ken was able to meet the price Statham asked for his share, the Clarion Group put in a higher offer and he sold to them instead. The new arrangement was a disaster as Clarion Group owner Nick Cavanagh was heavily in debt and had borrowed in the newspaper's name.

However Cavanagh hadn't paid Statham for his share of the paper so he never legally owned any part of it. When the Weatherfield Gazette started a free sheet, Ken started printing in the Recorder details of Council business Deirdre had told him. Deirdre refused to be a mole, but Ken found another source in Wendy Crozier , who worked for the Council.

Deirdre rowed with Ken as the Council assumed she was behind the leaks, but when she walked out on a Council meeting Ken was able to clear her name by printing information she didn't know about.

Ken promised not to print any more information based on Wendy's insider knowledge. When Ken broke his promise after only a few weeks, Deirdre told her boss that Wendy was the mole. Wendy was sacked, but Ken offered her a job at the Recorder. Ken and Wendy started to grow closer.

Ken had dinner with Wendy on his 50th birthday under the mistaken belief that Deirdre had forgotten the date. Both of them eagerly entered into an affair but Wendy quickly asked Ken to decide between her and Deirdre. Wendy quit her job at the Recorder , allowing Ken to use his lack of staff as an excuse for his long working days. Deirdre became suspicious after Mike told her he had seen Ken with a woman but when Ken denied having an affair Deirdre believed him. After spending Christmas Eve with Wendy, Ken told Deirdre about the affair but promised to end the relationship with Wendy.

When he failed to do so, Deirdre threw him out of No. While he tried to sort his life out, Ken lived with Wendy. However to his surprise Deirdre told him she wanted a divorce - Ken had planned to use Deirdre's affair with Mike to excuse his behaviour.

He did his best to keep the Recorder going but had to sell to Ted Lucas , editor of the Gazette , to pay off No. When he thought things couldn't get any worse, Lucas sacked Ken and gave his job to Wendy. To raise cash, Ken sold his car to Curly Watts without telling him it needed repairs.

Ken came to realise he shouldn't have left Deirdre and walked out on Wendy, moving into a bedsit at 6 Chepstow Road. Ken's hopes for a reconciliation with Deirdre were dashed when he found out she was seeing plumber Dave Barton , who had asked Deirdre and Tracy to move in with him. Ken got a job as a supply teacher at Weatherfield Comprehensive school, a job which soon became permanent.

As he tried to convince Deirdre to give him another chance, Ken moved into the shop flat in Coronation Street, but Deirdre was having none of it despite Tracy also wanting them to get back together.

Ken tried to protect Deirdre when she went out with conman Phil Jennings , but Deirdre only ended up resenting him for interfering and went off with Phil to see in the New Year in Paris. Heartbroken and angry, Ken tried to kill himself by taking an overdose, but was stopped by Bet Gilroy who heard movements inside No.

Alma was furious at Mike for manipulating her but when she told Ken about it he finished with her. Within a few months Alma was engaged to Mike, despite Ken warning her she was making a big mistake. Mike considered suing Ken when Ken accused him of conning money out of Emily Bishop , but nobody was willing to testify on Mike's behalf and Ken refused to apologise. Mike dropped the lawsuit for Emily's sake. When Ken did his back in, Deirdre volunteered to let him stay at No.

They celebrated their divorce together. Shortly after however Deirdre was called on to assist Ken again after he injured his back and stuck in bed, needed assistance getting dressed before he was taken to hospital. Ken next dated Maggie Redman , mother of one of his pupils, Mark Redman. Tracy told Ken, who confronted Maggie about it, telling her about his history with Mike.

Although they agreed not to let Mike come between them, the situation became more complicated when Mike started hassling Maggie to let him see Mark and warned her that Ken was only going out with her to get back at him. Ken and Maggie tried to make their relationship work despite this but eventually Maggie tired of being caught in the middle of Ken and Mike's feud and finished with Ken.

In , Ken started seeing more of Deirdre again, and comforted her when Tracy left home to live with her boyfriend Craig Lee. Ken spent Christmas with Deirdre but in January she had to leave to take care of her mother Blanche Hunt who had suffered a stroke. The relationship went well until Denise told Ken she was pregnant with his baby, news which stunned Deirdre, who had been hoping for a reconciliation with Ken, especially since Ken had always refused to father a child with her.

Ken was worried that fathering an illegitimate child would sully his reputation, and proposed to Denise telling her he wanted to make a commitment to her, but Denise didn't want to marry him as they didn't love each other. Ken moved from the shop flat to No. He rowed with Denise over him feeling trapped in the street because of the baby, but shortly afterwards Denise collapsed in pain and lost the baby.

However a scan revealed that Denise was pregnant with twins and the other baby was still alive. At the same time, Deirdre was seeing year-old Moroccan Samir Rachid and agreed to marry him. This deepened the rift between Ken and Deirdre as Ken told Deirdre it was obvious they were only marrying to keep Samir in the country and he persuaded Emily Bishop not to witness for them.

He grudgingly gave his support at the last minute. At the end of the year, Deirdre announced she was emigrating and selling No. Denise Osbourne agrees to live at No. Denise was becoming tired of Ken's interest in Deirdre and decided to leave, intending to have the baby without him. However Denise had a change of heart when baby Daniel was born and she allowed Ken to be with her for the birth. Ken tried to get Mike to sell No.

Ken was upset when Denise left his name off Daniel's birth certificate, but he tried to be supportive and agreed to babysit when Denise needed him.

Eventually however, Ken grew tired of being reduced to babysitting his own son and saw a solicitor about getting rights to see his son, only to learn that since his name wasn't on the birth certificate he had no rights.

In the meantime, Ken was homeless having given his flat to Deirdre after Tracy was hospitalised after suffering kidney failure. Bet Gilroy let Ken live at the Rovers. Denise left Weatherfield with Daniel to get away from Ken, but when Ken tracked her down he was surprised when Denise told him she was willing to start again with him and Daniel. Ken only agreed when Denise assured him she wasn't going to change her mind again. Mike sold No. The arrangement worked until January when Denise proposed to Ken after feeling guilty over her two-year affair with her accountant brother-in-law Brian Dunkley.

Ken accepted the proposal until he found out about the affair, upon which he threw Denise out and refused to let her take Daniel. To Ken's surprise, Denise didn't fight for Daniel and left with Brian. Ken was determined to make a success of being a single father but he struggled to cope and employed Kelly Thomson as a child minder. Kelly also moved in although Ken was apprehensive about allowing her to do so as she was a former pupil of his.

Later that year, Ken became friends with colleague Sue Jeffers and comforted her when she was going through a divorce.

Ken was worried that she was interested in him and was going to make a move but they came to an understanding. Ken and Deirdre started to grow closer again when Tracy married Robert Preston. Ken and Deirdre spent the night together but while they were doing so Denise returned with Brian, intending to take Daniel away. Ken got there in time but he had to let Denise take Daniel as she had absolute rights to him.

Ken fought for custody of Daniel but eventually agreed to an out-of-court settlement when Denise warned him he wouldn't win in court. Ken arranged visitation rights but Daniel stayed with Denise. In , Ken asked Deirdre to move in with him but she refused.

At the time Ken was fighting against redundancy at Weatherfield Comprehensive but Sue assured him his job was safe.

Ken ended up in bed with Sue just as Deirdre called at No. Both Sue and Deirdre were angry with Ken for not being honest with them. Deirdre decided just to remain friends with Ken, so he continued to see Sue although they kept their relationship a secret because other staff members had been made redundant while Ken only kept his job because Sue fancied him.

Ken was angry when Sue admitted her bias but when their affair was discovered Sue took all the blame and resigned from her job.

Ken was absolved of any responsibility but was made redundant anyway because of further cutbacks. Frustrated at his situation Ken took his anger out on Daniel; although he soon regretted his behaviour, Daniel didn't want to see him any more. In late , Ken became concerned about Deirdre's relationship with Jon Lindsay - Jon had told Deirdre he was an airline pilot when in fact he only ran a tie shop in the airport.

When Deirdre stayed with Jon, and asked Ken to keep up the charade that Jon was a pilot, Ken warned her that Jon was a fake and not to be trusted. Short of cash, Ken agreed to work for Alec Gilroy 's agency, which offered companionship for clients. He quit when he was nearly assaulted by a jealous husband at a book launch. His last job saw client Babs Fanshawe die halfway through their meal, and his role in the evening picked up on by the press. By , Deirdre's relationship with Jon had ended but Deirdre was arrested after being duped by Jon into committing fraud.

The case went to court, with Jon claiming that Deirdre was the driving force behind the scheme and she had manipulated him. Mike arranged for Deirdre to leave the country before the trial but Ken convinced her to stay and face the trial. However when under oath Ken testified that Deirdre had asked him to lie about Jon's profession. Deirdre was found guilty on all counts, while Jon was let off with a suspended sentence. Putting his differences with Mike aside, Ken and Mike secured Deirdre's release with the help of Mary Docherty , a former victim of Jon's.

Ken was hoping to get back together with Deirdre, but she refused. Out of work, Ken found a temporary job at The Kabin. Deirdre's mother Blanche tried to matchmake between Ken and Deirdre in , and manipulated them into admitting they still had feelings for each other.

When Tracy showed up after splitting up with Robert, Ken and Deirdre convinced them to reconcile. Ken was inspired and urged Deirdre to give their relationship one last chance. At last, Deirdre agreed and moved back in. Deirdre wasn't pleased when Ken took a job as a trolley pusher at Freshco supermarket, with Ken telling her that a job where he didn't have to think appealed to him.

The following year, Blanche came to live at No. In , Ken started work on a book about the history of Weatherfield. His research uncovered information about Fred Elliott 's grandfather, who was hanged in Rosamund Street for murder. He was disappointed when his laptop containing the final draft of the book was stolen, but the disc was handed into the Weatherfield Gazette , after which Ken was offered a column in the Gazette.

In July , his book Weatherfield Yesterday was published. He was also instrumental in rallying the street residents to stop Coronation Street being tarmacked later in the year.

In October, Ken was trapped in Freshco alongside several others when it was taken under armed siege just before closing time by Dean Sykes and Lenny Larkin. Also in the supermarket was Mike who was antagonistic towards the armed thugs and clashed with Ken about the best way to respond to the situation, with Ken seeking to reason with them and appeal to their better nature.

Irritated by Ken and Mike's bickering, the two robbers tied the pair up separately in the stockroom. Ken and Mike continued to bicker while tied up together, but when Mike suffered a sudden heart attack, Ken assisted in keeping him calm and the pair acknowledged that their continued feuding was pathetic and agreed to let bygones be bygones.

At Christmas, Peter showed up at No. Peter quickly caused trouble by giving the police Ken's name after crashing Ken's car as he was banned from driving.

Ken lied to the police but had to withdraw his application to become a magistrate to avoid the scrutiny. During the crisis, Peter let slip to Ken that Susan had been keeping a secret from him.

This turned out to be that Susan had not had an abortion in and she now had a year-old son Adam. Susan allowed Ken to meet Adam but told him not to tell Mike about him. Ken went along with it and asked Deirdre to do so also but Deirdre told her employer Dev Alahan , who told Mike.

A custody battle threatened to erupt as Mike was determined to gain access to his son, but while driving to London to escape Mike, Susan was killed in a car crash. Ken was determined to follow Susan's wishes and not allow Mike to see Adam but when he couldn't avoid it he started making plans to move to Glasgow, which caused a row with Deirdre as he was adamant that they were going with or without her.

Deirdre left to live at the shop flat until she decided whether she wanted to stay with Ken. At the custody hearing, Mike was granted interim custody of Adam. Deirdre left Ken, apparently for good, when she thought he mainly wanted her back because their appeal to get custody of Adam would be better if they were a couple. On the rebound, Ken started seeing Alma, who was now divorced from Mike, but Alma persuaded Ken and Deirdre to reconcile. Adam eventually moved back to Glasgow and was enrolled in a boarding school.

Later in the year, Ken helped Anita Scott write her memoirs. By , Ken and Deirdre were becoming bored with each other and when Ken confided in Anita his relationship problems, Anita made a pass at him, which he rejected. Ken successfully applied for a supply teacher position at Weatherfield Comprehensive. The job became permanent when Ken reported Charlie Ramsden for drinking on the job and he had to take on her classes when Charlie was suspended.

Ken was exhausted by the work because of his age but accepted the position of Senior Pupil Mentor when it was offered. However one of his more disruptive pupils, Aidan Critchley , made it his mission to terrorise Ken into leaving. Aidan taunted Ken in class and vandalised his car, but to Deirdre's surprise, Ken was determined to deal with the situation without involving the headmaster or the police.

To raise extra money, Ken took a job standing in for the Gazette's Agony Aunt. He dropped Ken's Column to take the new column on. For a while, Ken's problems with Aidan died down, but they flared up again later in when Aidan went joyriding in Ken's car after having the keys copied.

Ken was none the wiser but confused as he was receiving speeding tickets when he hadn't been speeding. Ken soon suspected Aidan and phoned the police when his car went missing again, but while speeding Aidan crashed the car. Aidan was unharmed and fled but the passenger Sarah Platt was seriously injured.

Gail was angry to discover Ken had suspected Aidan before but not phoned the police sooner. Sarah recovered but Ken felt guilty for not contacting the police earlier. Aidan was taken out of school and arrested but he was released early enough to be able to return to school that same day, where he enjoyed goading Ken. Ken finally snapped and punched Aidan.

Despite the neighbours congratulating Ken, Ken felt guilty and offered to resign from the school, although Deirdre convinced him to stay at his job. He was arrested for assault and entered a guilty plea. At Christmas, Tracy returned, having left her husband Robert for good. Tracy started seeing Dev Alahan, which Deirdre was against as Deirdre had embarked on a one-night stand with Dev a year ago which Ken didn't know about.

On the day of Ken's court case, Tracy forced Deirdre to confess all to Ken. Ken received a conditional discharge for assaulting Aidan and after a day of uncertainty forgave Deirdre and agreed to start again with her. Things remained frosty with Tracy for a while due to her continuing relationship with Dev. In , Aidan was arrested on charge of murdering Maxine Peacock. Since Aidan was 16 he needed an adult representative and chose Ken.

The neighbours were convinced of Aidan's guilt but Ken believed Aidan was telling the truth about being set up. Ashley was aghast and banned Ken from attending Maxine's funeral while old friend Emily Bishop, who had also been attacked, briefly turned her back on Ken. Ken was proved correct when Richard Hillman turned out to be the killer.

Ken also resigned from his job before his hearing as he assumed the verdict would not be in his favour. During the rest of the year, Ken and Deirdre were mainly occupied by the antics of their children, including Peter marrying two women without either of them knowing about it, and Tracy pretending to sleep with Roy Cropper after getting pregnant with Steve McDonald 's baby in order to sell her baby to Roy and Hayley Cropper.

Peter's son and Ken's grandson Simon was born later in the year, but his mother Lucy Barlow was angry with Peter and left Weatherfield so he wouldn't have any contact with her or Simon. Peter moved to Portsmouth. When Ken's third grandchild was born early in , Tracy decided to go back on her deal to give Amy to the Croppers.

Ken persuaded Roy to do the right thing and give the baby to her mother, even though Tracy had behaved despicably.
