In a surprising turn of events, Coronation Street's very own Gareth Pierce shared some delightful photos on Instagram featuring none other than Matt Di Angelo from EastEnders. Fans were pleasantly surprised to see this crossover between the two popular soap operas.
Gareth, who has been portraying the character of Todd Grimshaw on ITV's Coronation Street since 2020, initially joined the show as a troublesome character. However, his character has evolved over the years and has become more compassionate. Recently, Todd was involved in a powerful and emotional storyline centered around Paul Foreman, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. In this storyline, we also saw Todd develop a fondness for Paul's carer, Moses. Sadly, their potential romance never took off as Moses left Weatherfield for London.
In real life, Gareth and Matt are good friends and they recently took a trip to London together. Gareth shared some fun photos from their trip on Instagram, featuring the two of them smiling and having a great time. In the caption, Gareth wrote about their adventures in the big city, including trying out delicious tacos and pink gin in a church and watching Steve Coogan in a show called "Dr. Strangelove."
Matt, who is best known for his role as Dean Wicks in EastEnders, left the show in September. In his final week of episodes, we saw his character go through a lot as he was wrongly arrested for the murder of Keanu Taylor. However, his character's true nature was revealed when he admitted to raping Linda, causing his murder trial to fall apart. In the end, he was arrested for Keanu's murder and his time on the show came to an end.
Meanwhile, things are not as dramatic for Gareth's character on Coronation Street. In fact, a post on EastEnders' official Instagram account confirmed that Matt's last scenes have already aired. The post thanked Matt for his portrayal of the devious Dean Wicks and included a video of his last day on set where the cast and crew bid him farewell.
