Robin Askwith, the actor most famous for his role in the Confessions Of movies, will return to Coronation Street in another cameo role. Robin will play veteran rocker Ritchie, a close friend of Dennis Tanner, who used to represent him when he was at the height of his fame, according to Digital Spy (from the Daily Star)
The reappearance of Dennis' old friend will rekindle his love for the music industry, and he decides to become Ritchie's manager again. However, this does not go down well with Rita.
Digital Spy says that Askwith reportedly starts filming on set today with his first scenes being aired later in the autumn.
And it's not the first time Askwith has appeared on Corrie. In August 2007 he played the part of travel rep Aidan when Steve and Eileen went on holiday to Malta.
