Owen Armstrong is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Ian Puleston-Davies. He made his first on-screen appearance on 9 June 2010 and left the show on 15 April 2015.
During his time on the show, Owen became the new landlord of Weatherfield whilst attempting to recoup father-daughter relationships with both Izzy (Cherylee Houston) and her younger sister Katy (Georgia May Foote). He then developed a feud with Izzy's boyfriend Gary Windass (Mike North); formed a relationship with Gary's mother Anna (Debbie Rush); and went into business partnership with his nefarious client Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre), who ended up conning Owen out of his £80,000 investment as revenge for Owen stealing Phelan's bike to force him in repaying him £4,000 – the result of which left both the Armstrong and Windass families virtually on the brink of financial bankruptcy. In November 2014, it was announced that Puleston-Davies had quit the serial and the character eventually left the series on 15 April 2015.
