Four Coronation Street exits ‘revealed’ as one character to leave ITV soap after 21 years
Corrie viewers could be about to wave goodbye to four characters in looming scenes, with one star's exit from the ITV soap confirmed amid new court scenes for them
Coronation Street viewers could witness a quadruple exit in coming weeks, after some sad news and a double prison twist.
Four Weatherfield characters look set to leave if next week’s spoilers are anything to go by. One character will leave the show 21 years after their debut on the ITV soap, with it confirmed the actor playing him since 2008 has quit the role.
But three other characters also look set to depart for good in the coming weeks, with spoilers teasing how they will all leave the show. Simon Barlow could face prison in a new twist, 21 years after his birth on the soap in 2003.
Months on from the departure of his father Peter Barlow, Simon will leave the show at some point this year following actor Alex Bain quitting his role after 16 years. It’s not known how he will leave, but spoilers for next week reveal the recent drink-driving crash is about to catch up with him.
After leaving Sam Blakeman seriously injured, Simon decides to take responsibility for his actions. In upcoming scenes he will head to court where he will learn whether he will get a custodial sentence after confessing his guilt previously.
Simon had been over the alcohol limit after drinking heavily the night before when he crashed the car and injured Sam. Next week, he will tell stepmother Leanne and Sam’s dad Nick that he’s prepared for whatever punishment the magistrate throws at him as he deserves it.

It’s not confirmed what the court says and what their verdict is, so could this be how Simon leaves, and might he head to prison? He’s not the only one possibly facing time behind bars.
There’s an update on bully Mason Radcliffe next week after he was finally exposed for tormenting Liam Connor, and also threatening him with a knife. The police tell Liam’s mother Maria Connor and stepfather Gary Windass that Mason’s been charged with threatening with a bladed article in a public space, and he’ll likely receive a custodial sentence.
So with Mason possibly spending time behind bars, does this mean an exit is looming? Elsewhere, the return of Eliza’s dad Dom leads to some sad news and a big exit decision.
Eliza tells her grandfather Stu Carpenter she is keen to move to Germany with her dad, away from Weatherfield. While Stu is torn, he soon comes to a decision and admits to Dom that he’s been selfish and suggests that Eliza has two weeks with him in Germany at Easter as a trial run, with a view to moving there permanently.
So does this mean both Dom and Eliza are leaving the show for good, or will Eliza change her mind?
