Template:21 July

21st July 2011: Ken Barlow had been surprised but delighted to discover that he had a family he never knew existed in September 2010 when Lawrence Cunningham, son of his old girlfriend Susan, tracked him down and introduced him to his grandson James. The young lad stayed in the area helping out at a homeless refuge but James revealed that he had a darker side to him, getting involved in a scam to supposedly raise funds for the soup kitchen but actually robbing Kevin Webster of £20,000. When James's cut of that operation proved to be less than expected, he tried to sell No. 1 from under his grandfather's nose. Ken discovered the scheme and confronted James. When he tried to phone the police, a fight broke out in which the older man was easily overpowered. James fled, leaving his grandfather cut and injured on the back room floor.
