Where have you seen Ken Barlow's son and grandson before?

If you're wondering where you've seen Lawrence Cunningham, who turned up as Ken's long-lost son on Coronation Street, then wonder no more. Actor Linus Roache who plays Lawrence, is the real-life son of William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow.

Linus Roache began his acting career with a two-week appearance as a young Peter Barlow on Coronation Street back in 1975 at the age of 11. His IMDB profile is here.

If you're wondering where you've seen James, who turned up as Ken's grandson on Coronation Street, then wonder no more. Actor James Roache, who plays James, is the real-life son of William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow.  Also in real-life, James is the half-brother of Linus Roache, who is currently playing Lawrence, Ken's son.

And we'll also see James in the BBC documentary Road to Coronation Street later this month where he plays his own dad, William Roache who plays Ken Barlow.

Confusing? A bit!  His IMDB profile is here.
