Beacham to join Coronation Street
Former Dynasty star Stephanie Beacham will join the cast of Coronation Street in January as a potential love interest for soap stalwart Ken Barlow.
The 61-year-old, seen last year on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, will play Martha, a slightly eccentric theatre actress who lives on a canal barge.
Beacham will be in the show for around three to four months, according to the long-running ITV1 drama's website.
According to ITV, Ken and Martha's relationship begins "as a friendship born out of similar cultural interests". Back to Dynasty News
