Recent announcements in Coronation Street have been causing quite a stir among fans. It seems like every day we hear news about cast members leaving the show or recently departing. It's been an emotional rollercoaster for everyone involved.
We've said goodbye to some beloved characters, like Gail Platt and her granddaughter Bethany, who left to go on maternity leave. And it's not just them - other familiar faces like Eileen Grimshaw, Craig Tinker, and Yasmeen Nazir will also be leaving soon. And now, Charlotte Jordan has announced that she'll be leaving her role as Daisy Midgeley to explore new opportunities.
Julia Goulding, who plays Shona Platt, summed it up perfectly by saying that all of her friends are leaving. She even joked that she's furious with Charlotte for leaving too. But there's one person she'll miss more than anyone else - Paddy Bever, who plays her stepson Max Turner.
Paddy has been with the show for three years and has been a key player in some intense storylines. He's tackled tough topics like far-right extremism and has even spent time in prison for his actions. Currently, Max is facing more legal troubles and a potential confrontation with the notorious Harvey Gaskell. Julia revealed that she's devastated about Paddy's departure and considers him like a son.
As we wait to see what happens to Max, Shona is also facing her own challenges. She's worried about her stepson's future and what might happen to him. But there's some good news for Julia - her friend Farrell Hegarty has joined the cast as Lou Michaelis. They've known each other for almost 20 years and Julia is thrilled to have her on set.

Julia also shared some insight into her character's current mindset. Shona is terrified for Max, especially since her own biological son is also in prison. It's a lot for her to handle and she's struggling to cope with the idea of losing someone she loves.
While it's sad to see Paddy go, Julia is excited to welcome Farrell to the cast. They go way back and it's like having a piece of home on set.
