Template:22 January

22nd January 1986: A cool and controlled Ken Barlow confronted Mike Baldwin in his factory Baldwin's Casuals and warned him off his daughter Susan Barlow. As Mike tried to explain himself, Ken uncharacteristically thumped the factory boss and walked out, telling him "I'd have enough of your poison in my family". Ken had just found out that Susan had been staying with Mike, as they had just started a relationship despite the age difference and the fact that Mike didn't get on well with Ken, Mike having had an affair with Ken's wife Deirdre three years before. Ken's attempts to split Mike and Susan hadn't met with much success and, much to his horror, actually drove them closer together.
