Coronation Street Character Set to Return After a Decade

Owen Armstrong returns after nearly 11 years and is set to stir conflict with Gary Windass while moving in with his daughter and grandson.

  • Welsh actor Ian Puleston-Davies will reprise his role as builder Owen Armstrong on Coronation Street in January, returning nearly 11 years after the character's 2015 departure from the ITV soap.
  • Owen left Weatherfield in April 2015 after his relationship with Anna Windass broke down and his building business collapsed, partly due to serial killer Pat Phelan's actions.
  • Determined to support his daughter Izzy Armstrong and grandson Jake, Owen returns to Weatherfield and immediately blames Gary Windass for his family's misfortune, creating conflict for the imprisoned former partner.
  • Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks noted that Owen "brings a ton of drama," adding his return will wreak havoc and severely test his relationship with Gary.
  • Puleston-Davies begins filming his dramatic return scenes next week and will appear on screens in January, saying: "I can't wait to pick up where I left off ten years ago! It's brilliant to be back.
