ITV have confirmed rumours that Stephanie Beacham is to join the cast of Coronation Street.

The 61-year-old actress is probably best known for her role as scheming vixen Sable in glamorous 1980s US soap The Colbys. She'll play eccentric theatre actress Martha, who lives on a canal boat and meets Ken Barlow while he's out walking Eccles the dog.

A shared passion for literature and the theatre brings the pair together and Ken finds Martha's boat a tranquil haven from the rigours of sharing a home with Deirdre, Blanche and Peter.

It starts off innocently enough, but could Martha and Ken's friendship blossom into something more? Coronation Street fans can tune in from January to find out.

The dreary streets of Weatherfield are a far cry from the glamour of wealthy California as seen in The Colbys. What next, JR Ewing behind the bar of The Queen Vic? Which glam US stars would you like to see make an appearance in our humble soaps? Post a comment below and let us know.
