Paddy Bever, who has portrayed the character of Max Turner on Coronation Street since 2021, will soon be leaving the popular ITV soap opera. He is the latest cast member to announce their departure, joining a long list of actors and actresses who have recently left the show.
Max, the adopted son of David Platt, has been involved in a dramatic storyline with his girlfriend, Lauren Bolton. Last year, Lauren was responsible for the murder of Joel Deering, and Max helped her dispose of the body in a river. Initially, Max planned to take the blame for Lauren's sake, but their secret was eventually uncovered by David's wife, Shona, and he was arrested.
As Paddy's final scenes are set to air in the coming weeks, it is possible that his exit may coincide with a major event in the show - the Platt family house fire. Pictures have been leaked of a huge blaze at the Platt house, and with David caught up in a dangerous feud with Harvey Gaskell, the father-son duo may face even more tragedy.
Producer Kate Brooks has hinted at the possibility of a devastating outcome for David and his family, saying, "The story we're telling is one of a very desperate David, trying to protect his family and keep Harvey and his goons at bay." With such high stakes, it's no surprise that Paddy's character may be caught up in the chaos.
Max's relationship with Lauren, who killed Joel Deering, has also been a major plot point on the show. But Paddy is not the only cast member to leave the show this year. Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, will be written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia. Sue Cleaver, who has played Eileen Grimshaw for 25 years, has also announced her departure, saying, "I've had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street."
Other actors who will be leaving the show include Colson Smith, who has played police officer Craig Tinker for 14 years, Charlotte Jordan, who portrays Daisy Midgeley, and Shelley King, who has played Yasmeen Metcalfe for 10 years. While their characters may have dramatic exits from the show, it is clear that these actors have cherished their time on the iconic show and are excited to explore new opportunities in their careers.
As for Paddy, he has already filmed his final scenes and will be leaving the show in the spring. In a statement, he said, "After much reflection and in an incredibly difficult decision, I have chosen to step away from Max, and Coronation Street, to explore new opportunities." He also expressed his gratitude for the support and kindness he has received from the show and its fans.
While it may be sad to see these beloved characters go, their departures will undoubtedly lead to some gripping and emotional storylines on the show. As Paddy said, "This chapter has been unforgettable and while I look forward to what lies ahead, I will treasure these memories." Fans will surely treasure the memories of these characters and their impact on the show.
