Coronation Street exit revealed for Stephen Reid as cast say goodbye to Todd Boyce

Will he get away with his crimes?

Coronation Street’s Stephen Reid has been confirmed to be exiting, with the cast seen saying goodbye to star Todd Boyce.

Boyce first appeared as Stephen in 1996, subsequently making a guest appearance in 2007 before returning full-time last year.

The businessman has been in a pickle in his latest stint, with his quest for commercial success driving him to murder (more than once), but the end is now in sight.

Ahead of his on-screen departure next month, Todd went for a celebratory farewell with his cast mates, with attendees including Helen Worth, Jack P Shepherd, Tina O’Brien, Paula Wilcox, Mollie Gallagher, Julia Goulding and Colson Smith.

One photo from the event saw Boyce with his thumbs up towards the camera, while another showed Gallagher, Shepherd and Goulding making their way to the farewell.

While we don’t exactly know how Stephen will exit the show, fans will get a chance to watch the character’s farewell with Boyce himself, with an event being planned on Friday October 13.

The Coronation Street Experience is a live event hosted by the ‘Soap Queen’ Sharon Marshall, giving fans the chance to ask Boyce about the soap in a Q&A, which will take place after the airing of the episode.

“I can’t wait to watch our fans watch me, with me, as my storyline heads towards one of its biggest moments yet,” said Boyce of the event.

“That said, I’m slightly nervous at their reaction – they all know what Stephen’s been up to, I’m just hoping Sharon is as good a bodyguard as I know she will be a host.”
