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.
