ITV Coronation Street favourite leaves Weatherfield 17 years after debut as exit revealed
A Coronation Street character looks set to leave the ITV soap for good next week, as he and another character depart the Cobbles ahead of Peter Barlow’s exit from the show
Coronation Street spoilers have appeared to confirm an exit will air on the ITV soap next week.
Two characters including one fan favourite, who debuted on the show 17 years ago, look set to leave Weatherfield in upcoming scenes. Ryan Connor says his goodbyes after a difficult year for the character, and heads out of the street for a new life in Glasgow.
Amid his new romance with Crystal, amid the bombshell reveal over his fling with Daisy Midgeley, the character will depart the cobbles. Spoilers reveal after deciding to leave, he says his goodbyes to residents including his aunt Carla Connor and heads off in a taxi.
While it’s not been confirmed that this is a permanent exit for the character, Ryan Prescott’s character will seemingly leave the show as part of the storyline. Spoilers do not reveal he will be on screen after this date.
Ryan has been through a lot this year, with a life-changing incident earlier this year seeing him be attacked with acid. Ryan suffered severe burns to his face and body after stopping Daisy’s stalker from throwing the substance at her.
After months of hospital treatment, Ryan struggled to settle back into life on the street. Crystal had cruelly rejected him earlier this year after the attack, but in recent weeks she returned and realised she liked Ryan.
What she didn’t know though was that Ryan had fallen in love with Daisy, with Daisy also having feelings for him despite her being engaged to Daniel Osbourne. But it seems Ryan has moved on, and after being offered the opportunity to live in Glasgow, he seemingly agrees.
Ryan’s final scenes will air on Wednesday December 20 as he bids farewell to the cobbles. It comes ahead of another big exit on the soap, with Peter Barlow set to depart before the year is out.
Chris Gascoyne is leaving the role after more than 20 years on the show. Peter has also struggled recently, after he accidentally killed murderer Stephen Reid. It’s been revealed that Peter’s exit will air in a special episode on Boxing Day later this month.
