Owen arrives to visit his daughter Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) but she is reluctant to have any involvement with him. He apologizes to Izzy for his past mistakes and agrees to give her her independence. Local builder, Bill Webster (Peter Armitage) is angry when Owen secures a building contract but Bill is soon persuaded to sell the builder's yard to Owen and he moves into the flat above with younger daughter Katy (Georgia May Foote). Owen dates his administrator Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) but is also attracted to Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard). He kisses Liz and Sean Tully (Anthony Cotton) tells Eileen the truth.
Owen forbids Katy to date Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) but they later convince him that they are serious about committing to one another. Liz's ex-husband, Jim (Charles Dawson) disapproves of Owen and Liz's relationship and Owen realizes that Liz has feelings for Jim, so he breaks up with her. When Gary attacks Owen after suffering from PTSD, he tries to ruin his relationship with Izzy. When Eileen's insurance company refuses to pay the costs to repair her damaged roof, she blames Owen. He informs her full roof survey should have been done. Eileen steals a £10,000 cheque that Carla Connor (Alison King) has written for Owen. He feels guilty and offers to repair Eileen's roof. Owen's bank card is rejected and he realizes that his money has been stolen. Eileen and Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) steal documents proving Owen has committed tax evasion. When Owen threatens to call the police, she blackmails him with the documents but Owen steals Jason's keys and reclaims the documents before reporting Eileen to the police. Following her arrest, Izzy convinces him to drop the charges. Owen has further reservations over Katy and Chesney's relationship when Katy becomes pregnant. She eventually manages to convince him to support her decision and Chesney buys number 5 Coronation Street with his sister Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine). Katy then moves in with Chesney, Fiz and Fiz's daughter Hope. Owen buys number 6 Coronation Street so that his friend, Anna Windass (Debbie Rush), will have a secure home for her adoptive daughter, Faye Windass (Ellie Leach). Faye takes a dislike to Owen and tries to stop him and Anna becoming romantically involved. Anna decides to avoid Owen's advances, wanting to respect Faye's opinion. However, they later begin a relationship and following Faye's constant pranks and attitude, Owen smacks her across the legs. Anna refuses to speak to Owen but after some time apart and an intervention from Gary, they reconcile and Faye accepts Owen, with him moving in with the two.
