Welsh actor Ian Puleston-Davies will return to Coronation Street as Owen Armstrong after more than a decade.<\/p>\n
The 67-year-old will reprise his role on the ITV soap as the no-nonsense builder nearly 11 years after Owen left Weatherfield following the breakdown of his relationship with Anna Windass and his business collapsing in part due to Pat Phelan.<\/p>\n
Owen’s dramatic return to the cobbles will see him move in with his daughter Izzy and grandson Jake, making it very clear that he blames Gary Windass for his family\u2019s misfortune.<\/p>\n
Puleston-Davies said: “I can\u2019t wait to pick up where I left off 10 years ago.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s brilliant to be back and to get stuck into a cracking storyline. Owen\u2019s back and he\u2019s still angry!”<\/p>\n
Puleston-Davies will start filming Owen\u2019s dramatic return next week and will be back on screens in January.<\/p>\n
Since leaving Coronation Street, Puleston-Davies has starred in a number of dramas including Pennyworth, Tin Star and After The Flood.<\/p>\n
Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: “We\u2019re thrilled that Ian is back, and Owen brings a ton of drama.<\/p>\n
“As he joins forces with an unlikely alliance, he wreaks havoc on the Street, and his relationship with Gary is severely put to the test.<\/p>\n
“Needless to say, there\u2019s never a dull moment when Owen\u2019s around.”<\/p>\n
