There\u2019s trouble on the horizon for Ken Barlow (played by Bill Roache) as another of his former flames is returning to Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Beacham is reprising her role as Martha Frazer 13 years after she last played the femme fatale.<\/p>\n

Fans will remember Ken almost left his beloved Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) for the minxy Martha, but the pair remained strong in the end.<\/p>\n

However, her return will undoubtedly throw another spanner in the works considering Ken recently found love with\u00a0another<\/em> ex, Wendy Papadopoulos (Roberta Kerr).<\/p>\n

Ken finds himself stunned when Martha arrives to help the Weatherfield Players with their Am Dram production, and it isn\u2019t long before his head is turned\u2026<\/p>\n

The lothario is once again placed in a love triangle as he struggles to ignore Martha\u2019s flirtatious nature \u2013 but where will that leave Wendy?<\/p>

Speaking of her return, Beacham said: \u201cI am delighted that Martha has returned to Weatherfield. It is an absolute joy to be working with Bill again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roache added: \u201cI was delighted when Wendy came back into Ken\u2019s life. I love that the writers are drawing on the rich history of Ken\u2019s life to come up with these stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found out that Martha was also going to make a return I was thrilled, but I fear heartache may be round the corner once more for Ken now he has found himself in another love triangle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martha will arrive in Weatherfield on 23rd November and it\u2019s currently unknown how long her return will last.<\/p>\n
