William Roache gives a heartbreaking performance in the scene where Ken is walking through the ruins of his apartment and picks up the faulty plug that took Val's life. You can see in that moment as Ken is holding the plug, how his life has been turned upside down because of one simple object and how senseless this tragedy was........

Great general point, though what he actually picks up is Val's powder compact - all the plug stuff would have been taken away to work out the cause of her death.

Bill Roache is a much better actor than he gets credit for. He is especially wonderful here.

I`ve always admired William`s acting ability - ever since seeing and hearing Ken`s row with Deirdre over her affair with Mike Baldwin, though I was hardly more than a child at the time. He seems particularly good at playing the vexed and troubled. The parts, if you like, at life`s extremities. Ken Barlow is so real.

That whole scene is incredible, the little unspoken things. Ena seeing Ken's face and immediately knowing the worst has happened, Billy's (almost imperceptible) signal to Ena that they should leave them alone, her gently touching Ken's arm as she leaves. No dialogue required, brilliant acting.

If this happens nowadays, viewers kick up a fuss and complain like hell and brand it "depressing"... But high octane drama has always been a factor of the Street... It's a drama serial, so it has to be expected to have "drama" in it.
@elspethcoogan1499 Жыл бұрын
Yes, but any depressing situations were relatable and plausible. It seems that now the soaps are littered with murders almost on a weekly basis, which is not only depressing but gratuitous.
@hicksteriatv1239 Жыл бұрын
Or some people object to such happenings that don't involve an original cast member. Also, just like any other drama serial, it has to move on with the world, and what's happening... therefore, in 2023, it cannot be set in a world where there is no such thing as social, no rising cost of living problems & the Manchester bombings never happened.

I wonder if Valerie had survived whether her and Ken would have still been married now. Would he have left her for Janet or Deirdre?
@woohooboy9 ай бұрын
Given that both actors are still alive and working, it's possible Ken and Val could have gone the distance (with a few bumps along the way - it is a soap after all) and in doing so, they would have had the longest fictional marriage on television (at more than six decades) I suspect the writers would have used the same storyline (with the Barlows emigrating) if Bill Roache had chosen to leave as well except in this case, they would have all made to Jamaica safely.
