Stephanie Beacham stars in Coronation Street

Needless to say I missed the news when it first came out, but Stephanie Beacham can now be seen as Ken Barlow's love interest in Coronation Street. Not too sure if I care about Beacham too much to actually openly watch it, but I am sure enough people will have this on telly everywhere I go so that I can experience her role while still keeping up the aura of snobby aloofness that generally comes up together with my raised eyebrow anytime I am confronted with The Street.
