NOTHING can ever really be the same between Wendy Crozier and Ken Barlow.
Next week, however, the Coronation Street stalwart reconnects with his former flame in an unexpected way.
Wendy Crozier has been able to reconnect with Ken Barlow
She made her return to the cobbles to help Abi Franklin get custody of her son Alfie
But will the former lovebirds rekindle a friendship or a romance?
The social worker portrayed by Roberta Kerr came back to the cobbles to help Abi Franklin get custody of her son Alfie and bumped into her ex-lover.
But when Ken (played by Corrie legend William Roache) had a conversation with her, his stepdaughter Tracy didn’t have anything nice to say due to their old affair which took place behind her mother Deirdre’s back.
Nonetheless, Ken and Wendy were then able to share a meal together, but the reunion turned slightly sour.
Coming up, Ken is adamant on making things right when he spots Wendy in the local café.
He invites her to see a musical with him but she gives him the cold shoulder.
A bemused Ken doesn’t let this get the best of him and he tries again.
When Wendy goes to settle her bill, she’s annoyed to see that Ken beats her to the punch and pays it for her.
This then prompts him to make it clear – he only wants them to be friends as he enjoyed her company during their previous evening together.
Ken asks her to go out for drinks but will Wendy give him the time of day?
Before Wendy returned, she was left under the impression that Ken wanted nothing to do with her.
This was due to their last encounter in 2012 after she’d tried to reignite their spark while Ken was still married to Deirdre.
Feeling betrayed by Wendy after she’d said they had slept together to try and break his marriage, Ken told her he never wanted to see her again, not even as a friend.
Wendy has been a long-standing familiar face for fans of the Manchester-based program as she was first introduced as Ken’s mistress in 1989.
This first affair led to Ken and Deirdre’s divorce before they rekindled their romance, years down the line.
Sadly for Wendy, this also means she has some very bad blood with Ken’s family, more particularly Tracy.
But will that stop them from being friends?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm.
