CORRIE stalwart Ken Barlow gets embroiled in an unfortunate misunderstanding.
Next week in Coronation Street, he’s accused of helping Stu Carpenter organise a break-in.
As soap legend William Roache celebrated his 90th birthday on April 25, his on-screen character Ken ends up on the wrong side of the law next week in the cobbles.
The long-term resident never shies away from lending a helping hand but when former homeless man Stu (played by Bill Fellows) asks him for a favour, he soon comes to regret his generous disposition.
It all begins when Stu asks Ken to give him a lift to the wholesalers.
Ken agrees and jumps into his car but while both characters are there, an officer accuses Stu of an attempted break-in.

Things go from bad to worse when Ken is assumed to be the getaway driver.
The mishap gets all cleared up but when Stu leaves the police station, the officer asserts that he’s had a lucky escape given his track record.
Sadly for him, Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) – to whom he has been getting closer in recent months – got wind of the incident and tells Stu how disappointed she is.
The Speed Daal co-owner goes a step further by telling him it would be best if he found another place to stay the night.
Once again, Stu can rely on Ken for giving him a bed to sleep in but he remains determined to get back into Yasmeen’s good books.
Stu serenades Yasmeen with a song to apologise.
However, she stays unimpressed and orders him to leave.
Yasmeen’s behaviour won’t come as a surprise to ITV viewers.
When she found out her grandson Zeedan had laundered money out of her restaurant, Yasmeen was determined to teach him a lesson by kicking him out of the family home and firing him.
His sister Alya was given the same treatment as she knew all about her brother’s deeds and was even involved in a shocking death.
