There are some exciting changes happening in the world of Coronation Street. As we all know, the cobbles are constantly bustling with comings and goings, and the next few weeks will be no exception. We've already seen the return of Clayton Hibbs and a shocking appearance from Richard Hillman, as well as the departure of Joel Deering and Gail Platt after an incredible 50 years on the show. But don't worry, there are still plenty of hellos and goodbyes in store for us in Weatherfield.
First things first, let's talk about the much-anticipated returns of some familiar faces. One of the most talked-about comebacks is that of Rob Donovan, the notorious bad boy who has been in prison for the past ten years. He's back on the scene to help Bobby Crawford find a kidney for Carla Connor. But will he be a reformed man or will his past mistakes catch up with him? Only time will tell.
Executive producer Kate Brooks has promised plenty of twists and turns in Rob's storyline, and it seems like he will be causing trouble for Carla and Lisa Swain. Speaking of Lisa, her mother Betsy will also be involved in this storyline, making things even more complicated. Kate has expressed her excitement for revisiting the history between Rob and Carla, and we can't wait to see where this leads.
But Rob is not the only character making a comeback. There are some other familiar faces returning to the cobbles, but Kate is keeping their identities a secret for now. All she's revealed is that they will bring their own forms of chaos, which is sure to make for some juicy storylines.
And let's not forget about Gail Platt, who recently left the show but may make a return in the future. Executive producer Iain MacLeod has hinted that actress Helen Worth may come back for some big Platt family storylines. While nothing is set in stone yet, it's good to know that the door is still open for Gail to return.
On the other hand, there are some cast members who will be saying goodbye to Coronation Street. Debbie Webster, played by Sue Devaney, will be killed off in a heartbreaking storyline that will see her battle with dementia. This is just one of the major plots that new Corrie boss Kate Brooks has planned for the coming year. It's sure to be an emotional and unforgettable exit for the character, and we will definitely need some tissues for this one.
But for now, we can still enjoy watching Debbie on our screens, alongside the rest of the amazing cast that makes up Coronation Street. Some of the familiar faces we can expect to see include William Roache as Ken Barlow, Barbara Knox as Rita Sullivan, and Kate Ford as Tracy McDonald. The list goes on with talented actors such as Sally Dynevor, Jack P. Shepherd, and Alison King, to name a few.
So, while we say goodbye to some beloved characters, we can also look forward to the return of some old favorites and the introduction of new faces. Coronation Street never fails to keep us on our toes, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our favorite soap opera.
Changes are happening in the world of Coronation Street as new faces make their way onto the cobbles and familiar ones bid their farewells. Fans of the beloved ITV soap have already witnessed the unexpected return of killer Clayton Hibbs and the shocking reappearance of Richard Hillman, as well as the dramatic conclusion of Joel Deering's storyline and Gail Platt's emotional exit after 50 years. But the drama is far from over, as there are more arrivals and departures on the horizon in Weatherfield.
Let's start with the exciting news of who's coming back to the show. One of Coronation Street's infamous bad boys, Rob Donovan, is set to make a comeback next week. He will be on a mission to find a kidney for Carla Connor, who is in desperate need of a transplant. Despite being in prison for the past ten years for the murder of Tina McIntyre, Rob's presence will shake things up for Carla and Lisa Swain. And it seems this is not just a short stint, as producer Kate Brooks has hinted that Rob will be sticking around for a while.
And speaking of returns, executive producer Iain MacLeod has teased the possibility of Gail Platt making a comeback in the future. Actress Helen Worth has expressed interest in reprising her role as the beloved character, especially if there's a big storyline involving the Platt family. While nothing is set in stone yet, we can only hope to see Gail back on the cobbles.
As for other characters making a comeback, Kate Brooks has kept her lips sealed, but she has confirmed that there will be more familiar faces returning in 2025 to stir up some chaos. We can only wait and see who these characters will be.
But along with the happy returns, there are also some sad goodbyes. Debbie Webster, who has been played by Sue Devaney since 1984, will be leaving the show in a heartbreaking storyline. Viewers will see her character diagnosed with dementia, and a long-running plot will explore the effects of the disease. According to sources, her exit will be one to remember, and it will be a chance for Sue Devaney to showcase her talents. It's a major storyline for the show, and it's sure to leave a lasting impact.
And for those wondering about the current cast, it includes familiar faces such as William Roache as Ken Barlow, Barbara Knox as Rita Sullivan, and Michael La Vell as Kevin Webster, among others. But with the ever-changing nature of Coronation Street, who knows what the future holds for these characters.
So, while there may be some sad goodbyes and unexpected returns, one thing is for sure – there will never be a dull moment on the cobbles of Coronation Street.
