“He has lived on the same street his whole life and in the same house for most of it.
“He feels that he had a chance to move away with Martha on the barge but he let her go. Part of him regretted that. He doesn’t want to make the same mistake again and Claudia is very persuasive.”
He added: “He breaks the news to the family next week and they are surprised but very soon Peter and Tracy start squabbling over who will be given first refusal on the house.
“We have already started filming at the retirement complex and I am really enjoying it, it always feels different when we film away from the Street.
“It seems fitting that Ken makes this decision in the 10,000th episode but it will be strange not filming in Number One after all this time.”
Coronation Street continues Monday on ITV at 7:30pm.
