It's a family affair as William Roache is joined by his real life sons Linus and James in a 50th Anniversary Coronation Street storyline kicking off this September.
According to Holy Soap , Ken discovers a dark family secret when a letter from the 1960s is unearthed during building work. But his desire to dredge up the past causes friction with wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) and son Peter (Chris Gascoyne).
Roache senior said: "I can think of no better way to celebrate my 50th anniversary on Coronation Street than to be working alongside both of my sons - I am looking forward to it immensely."
Linus Roache, 46, is the Corrie star's eldest son and is well known in the US for his role as Michael Cutter in Law and Order. He also played the role of Peter Barlow as a child in 1975!
James Roache, 24, was actually christened William but changed his name to avoid confusion with his dad. Bill Roache's youngest son, he's appeared in ITV1 drama Cold Blood and the Innocence Project for the BBC.
The brothers will hit screens in September for a three-week stint in the run-up to the show's 50th anniversary.
