Corrie Roache teases son return plot

William Roache has revealed that his son James will become involved in Sophie and Sian's storyline when he returns to Coronation Street.

James made his debut as Ken Barlow's gay grandson last year alongside William's other son Linus, who played his on-screen homophobic father Lawrence. It was announced in December that James is to return to the ITV soap.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning, William confirmed that James will begin filming for two months in March.

"James is coming back - he starts filming in March," he said. "Linus lives in America - he was in Law & Order so he could only get two weeks, so the story was very quick and over. He was homophobic in it and we need to bring him back to explain why."

However, the actor continued to tease that James's return will see him become involved with Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson).

"Young James is in again in March for two months with the two young lesbian girls - so there should be an interesting story there," he said.
