Template:5 September

5th September 2010: Back in the winter of 1960, Ken Barlow had started a relationship with Susan Cunningham, a young girl he met at University who was from a different class and background to his terraced street upbringing. They parted after a couple of months and Ken spent the next half-century hardly giving her a thought. That was until Norris Cole discovered a long-lost letter dating from 1961 that Susan had sent Ken in which she told him that she was pregnant with his child. Ken traced Susan and discovered that she'd since passed away but Lawrence Cunningham, his son, was alive and well. Ken invited him round to No. 1 without telling him why, much to the annoyance of wife Deirdre who was further exasperated when Lawrence turned out to be a younger version of Ken with similar tastes and a similar history of philandering. Ken admitted his paternity to Lawrence and found out that he had two grandchildren he had never met, James and Chloe.
