The end is nigh for one of Weatherfield’s favourite characters.
Ken Barlow has been a fixture on Coronation Street since the beginning of the ITV soap but his life could be hanging in the balance.
According to reports, Bill Roache, who plays erstwhile Ken, could be coming to the end of his time on the soap and there could be a very emotional ending.
It was only a couple of months ago that viewers were shocked to see Ken suffer a stroke.
At that time, a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order was added to his medical records and this is about to be thoroughly tested.
It is believed that Ken is going to be hit by another stroke.
This time it could be fatal though, as show insiders have told The Sun that his life will be, “hanging on by a thread”.

Corrie sources revealed to the paper: “Ken had only just recovered from the terrible stroke he suffered in October, so this latest attack hits him twice as hard.
“He is rushed to hospital and his life is very much hanging in the balance.
“Obviously for someone who was so recently ill.
