Coronation Street's Bill Roache has admitted that he is enjoying the turmoil for his on-screen family.
Roache's character Ken Barlow recently kicked his adopted daughter Tracy (Kate Ford) out of the family home after her lies were revealed.
Tracy had accused Becky McDonald of causing her to miscarry her twins by pushing her down the stairs.
However, her lies were revealed on her wedding day when Becky got hold of her medical records showing she had already lost the babies before her accident.
More drama is expected as Ken's son Peter (Chris Gascoyne) deals with the fall out from the exposure of his affair with Carla Connor.
Roache told Loose Women: "Long may it reign! Dysfunctionality is the order of the day!
"I'm not responsible for Tracy's genes - that's Deirdre and Ray Langton. But I'm afraid for Peter's genes, I am!
"Peter, going way back, he's a bigamist, an alcoholic, an adulterer. You name it, he's done it."
Chatting about Tracey, he added: "She is a one - and a half! And that will carry on. She is unbelievable, really, what she does.
"Deirdre certainly feels for her, and Ken does occasionally. When she got married, Ken thought it was all going to be lovely, but then he discovered what she'd done. It's great stories."
Bill, who has been with Coronation Street since the first episode in 1960, hopes he will continue to be on the soap for some time to come.
He explained: "People say, 'When are you going to retire?' I say, 'It's not an option'. While they want me and while I can do it, I will carry on."
