It's with a heavy heart that we bid another goodbye on the cobbles of Coronation Street. After three years of unforgettable moments, Paddy Bever has announced his departure from the show. He made the decision known to the bosses early last year, and now the time has come for him to step away from the role of Max, the adopted son of David Platt.
Max has been a central character in some major storylines this year, including the shocking disposal of Joel Deering's body with the help of Lauren Bolton. He was also involved in a dark grooming plot by a far-right gang. With his final scenes already filmed, it's expected that Max will make his exit in the spring. However, fans are understandably worried about what's to come for him, especially with the explosive storyline involving the Platt family and a looming fire.
In a statement, 22-year-old Paddy expressed his gratitude for the kindness and support he received throughout his time on the show. He acknowledged the privilege of being a part of such a beloved and iconic show and promised to treasure the memories made. Speaking to The Mirror, he added that it was a tough decision to leave but he looks forward to new opportunities.
But Paddy is not the only one bidding farewell to the cobbles. Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, will also be leaving the show as part of a storyline focusing on dementia. Fans have been left heartbroken at the news, with a source revealing that it will be devastating for them to see Sue's final storyline. The upcoming plot is just one of the many exciting twists planned by the new boss, Kate Brooks, who promises to bring the drama and hard-hitting storylines to the forefront.
Another long-time cast member, Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, has also decided to leave after 25 years on the show. She confirmed that the door will always be open for her return, but at 60 years old, she felt it was time to embrace change and seek new adventures. And after 14 years, Colson Smith, who portrays police officer Craig Tinker, will also be leaving. He shared his love for the show on social media and expressed his excitement for his character's exit storyline.
Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy Midgeley, will also be departing after four years on the show. Her character's exit will be part of a secret explosive storyline, and Charlotte is eager to try new projects. And after 10 years, Shelley King, who plays Yasmeen Metcalfe, will also be saying goodbye to the cobbles. She has already filmed her final scenes in December, but her character will not be killed off.
The show's insiders clarified that these departure decisions were made over the past year, and they do not announce them too soon to avoid undermining the storytelling. Other actors who will be leaving the show include Sue Devaney, Sue Cleaver, Charlotte Jordan, and Shelley King. However, fans can rest assured that Coronation Street is not in any crisis, and there are still many exciting storylines and talented actors to look forward to in the future.
