If you're wondering where you've seen Lawrence Cunningham, who turned up as Ken's long-lost son tonight on Coronation Street, then wonder no more. Actor Linus Roache who plays Lawrence, is the real-life son of William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow.
Linus Roache began his acting career with a two-week appearance as a young Peter Barlow on Coronation Street back in 1975 at the age of 11. His IMDB profile is here.

Linus Roache was in Corrie as Peter B in 1975 not 1960. Had he been 11 in 1960 he would be 61 now and I very much doubt that Bill Roache is quite old enough to have a son of 61. Bill Roache has been in the soap since 1960, perhaps this was a typo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, I got the info from IMDB, obviously wrong ;-)
