Ken's Attacker Revealed!

Ken's Attacker Revealed was a short spin-off of Coronation Street released briefly on-line on Friday 26th May 2017, deleted, and then released again on Monday 29th May to both the official website and You Tube.

The release co-incided with the reveal in the main programme, after two months of "who-dunnit"-style speculation, that Daniel Osbourne behind the attack on Ken Barlow in the hallway of 1 Coronation Street which had taken place (off-screen) in Episode 9130 (27th March 2017). The actual flashback clip only lasted for 24" and the majority of the remainder of the release was actor Rob Mallard talking to camera about how he had had to keep the secret from friends and family and how most viewers had incorrectly guessed the solution.

The clip was not recorded at the same time as Episode 9130 but instead recreated the moment some weeks afterwards. This was to preserve the secret for as long as possible as to who the attacker was, even in the confines of the studios. The clip was written by digital editor Dan Archibald and digital producer Matthew McCann.
