Inside Coronation Street’s brutal cast cull - who’s been axed so far and rumoured exits
Share:
There's going to be some big changes to Coronation Street this year, with a number of exits confirmed and rumoured. Soap boss Kate Brooks warned fans to expect several departures in the coming weeks and months, and now it's been revealed who is leaving - with more exits no doubt planned. Kate told The Mirror just weeks ago that fans would be surprised by some of the characters leaving, and there would be lots of them.
She did not give away who she was referring to, but since then a number of announcements have been made. In recent weeks we've had an icon leave the show for good, and a character killed off in tragic scenes. Spoilers for the weeks ahead have teased more tragedy and more possible exits, with a stunt looming, a trial and a possible comeuppance. So who has left recently and who else is on their way out? Here's all the confirmed and rumoured exits, including those who have been written out of the ITV soap.
It was confirmed weeks ago that Debbie would be diagnosed with dementia in a devastating storyline on the ITV soap. While it will be long-running, the storyline is set to end with actress Sue's departure as Debbie passes away. It's not been confirmed when this will happen or when she will be diagnosed. A source recently told The Mirror of Sue's reaction to the heartbreaking plot: "Sue is a total professional and is already putting her all into what she sees as hugely important long running storyline. She saw the positive impact of the MND storyline and hopes that her dementia story can have the same effect and raise awareness of the condition.".
