There's some exciting changes happening in the world of Coronation Street. The beloved ITV soap is welcoming back some familiar faces and saying goodbye to others in the coming weeks.
Fans have recently seen the return of notorious killer Clayton Hibbs and the final appearance of evil Joel Deering. But there's still more hellos and goodbyes to come for the residents of Weatherfield.
Let's start with the good news - the cast members who are making a comeback. Emrhys Cooper will be reprising his role as the sinister cult leader Rowan Cunliffe. After being absent for a few months, his character's storyline is finally reaching its end. For those who need a refresher, Rowan had entangled Leanne Battersby in his suspicious Altovalent Institute. He manipulated her and her neighbors, even conning Amy Barlow out of a large sum of money. But thanks to Leanne and Amy teaming up, Rowan was eventually arrested. However, we later learned that he pleaded not guilty and will stand trial. Emrhys confirmed his return to filming in September, meaning Rowan's return to the cobbles is just around the corner.
Another familiar face returning to Coronation Street is Sair Khan as Alya Nazir. The actress recently came back to the set after taking maternity leave. Her character's temporary exit saw her leaving for Dublin for a new job opportunity. But now she's back, and it looks like Alya's time in Ireland has changed her in unexpected ways. According to Sair, Alya will find herself in a compromised situation when she returns to Weatherfield. Her first appearance back will be on Wednesday, November 27th.
Now, onto the bad news - the cast members who are leaving. After 50 incredible years of playing Gail Platt, Helen Worth is set to depart from the show. Her character's exit will play out during the festive season as she prepares for her wedding to Jesse Chadwick. While Gail won't be killed off, her departure will be filled with drama as she discovers shocking secrets that could change everything. In an interview, Corrie boss Kate Brooks promised that Gail's exit will be fitting for her iconic character. Her final episode will air in late December.
Jesse Chadwick's return to the cobbles was only ever temporary, and he will also be departing alongside Gail. John Thomson was brought back to the show after Sean Wilson's unexpected departure, and his character's fate is still unknown. Will he and Gail finally tie the knot, or will they go their separate ways? We'll have to wait and see when his final episode airs in late December.
Another heartbreaking exit on the horizon is Debbie Webster, who is set to be killed off in a harrowing storyline. The character, played by Sue Devaney since 1984, will be diagnosed with dementia in the coming months, and the disease will take hold in a long-running storyline.
