New character joins 'Coronation Street'
Published Tuesday, May 29 2007, 13:37 BST | By Matthew Houghton
The son of Terry Duckworth is to enter Coronation Street and pick up where his father left off.
Terry, the son of Jack and Vera, left the Street after conning the couple out of £25,000.
He convinced his mother to give him the cash in return for donating a kidney to his sick son Paul, before he disappeared with the money.
Paul is now to join the soap in the form of Tom Hudson. The actor told the Sunday Mirror: "He's a chip off the old block - a loveable rogue. But it soon becomes clear that he's less of the loveable and more of the rogue.
"He's definitely got an eye for the ladies - Weatherfield's women aren't going to know what's hit them."
Paul comes to Coronation Street at the end of June.
