17th January 1996: Brian Dunkley finally put Ken Barlow out of his misery and told him that he was having an affair with Denise Osbourne. Ken knew that Brian and his wife Alison - Denise's sister - were having marriage problems but had no idea Denise was involved. On finding out, Ken threw them both out of his house. The next day, Denise surprised Ken by admitting that he was right in calling her an unfit mother and then leaving with Brian. Having fought for parental rights over their son Daniel the previous year, Ken was now a single father.
