Ken wants a Street return
EVEN IF KEN WINS THE ELECTION, HE ISN’T WINNING AT LIFE…
The campaign to be named chairman of the Stillwaters residents’ committee goes to the wire this week, as Ken battles to win the seat from current leader Charles. However, has Ken curried enough favour with his new neighbours to be victorious?
“Ken realised very quickly that, in order to beat a man as unscrupulous as Charles, he has to fight dirty,” grins our cobbles insider. “Charles has already scuppered Ken’s plans to charm the voters, and embarrassed him during a fencing competition, so Ken will need to dig deep if he’s to walk away with a majority.”
The only way to truly discredit Charles is for Ken to expose him for the fraud he’s been getting away with at
Stillwaters. After acquiring proof that the rotter has been depositing payments from his fellow residents into his personal bank account, Ken waits until the day of the election to gleefully present the evidence to the very people Charles has ripped off. Meanwhile, the polls close and the result is finally announced. Has Ken done enough to dethrone Charles?
Either way, it’s clear that the politics at Stillwaters are not what really matters to Ken, as he continues to struggle adjusting to his new life at the luxury retirement complex.
“It’s with a heavy heart that Ken explains to Claudia that it’ll never be the same as when he lived on the Street,” says our mole. “Since they made the decision to move, Ken has lost his beloved pooch Eccles, and desperately misses his friends and family. Yes, he certainly gets what he pays for with the fancy accommodation – however, he has quickly learned that you can’t put a price on home comforts.”
But the problem Ken finds himself with is that Claudia loves Stillwaters, and has no plans to give it up. That means that Ken must try to find a compromise, or sacrifice his relationship.

Claudia was the key to his future happiness. Yet does his heart belong to the cobbles of Coronation Street?
