Lawrence Cunningham

Lawrence Cunningham is the long lost son of Ken Barlow, who was born from Ken's first ever girlfriend Susan Cunningham in August 1961. Susan discovered she was pregnant after splitting up with Ken, and sent him a letter to ask him to meet up, but it was accidently misplaced when it ended up behind the scurting board at 3 Coronation Street, Ken's home. It wasnt till nearly 50 years later in 2010 that the letter was discovered by newsagent Norris Cole. Ken was given the letter, and he had discovered Susan had died some years previously, but had a son Lawrence. Lawrence also had a son called James, and a daughter called Chloe who was currently at college.

Lawrence and Ken finally met up in September 2010, and Ken's wife Deirdre realised they where the spitting image of each other, and assured Ken they are defently related. Ken later told Lawrence that he was in fact his father, much to Lawrence's surprise. Lawrence also had a strained relationship with his son James, due to James being gay, but Ken wants to put it right.
