NEWS: William Roache Trial, Ignacio Serricchio to BONES, GLEE to New York, McKenzie Westmore Engaged

CORONATION STREET's William Roache on trial not Ken Barlow, jury told
A judge has told a panel of potential jurors that the "real person" William Roache is on trial, not his fictional Coronation Street character. Justice Tim Holroyde QC said any views of Ken Barlow must be "put out of your mind" to ensure a "fair and independent judgement" can be reached.

Roache, 81, denies two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in East Lancashire in 1967. At Preston Crown Court, he also denies five indecent assaults on four girls.

Those alleged offenses relate to girls aged from 11 to 16 in Manchester in the mid to late 1960s.

Justice Holroyde said: "It is a real person, William Roache, who is on trial. You must separate the fictional character from the real person, you will have to decide verdicts from the evidence you will hear from a real person, about a real person."
