Coronation Street viewers are heartbroken, convinced they've figured out which cherished character is next to depart.
The ITV soap has seen a significant cast reduction in recent times. Last year, Soap boss Kate Brooks cautioned that several exits were on the horizon, much to the fans' dismay.
Already in 2025, there have been numerous departures - including Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) who embarked on a new life in London, Max Turner (Paddy Bever), sentenced to six years in prison, and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) who was tragically written out after 14 years.
Soap veteran Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) also bid farewell to the cobbles after 25 years, embarking on a journey thousands of miles away to Thailand.

However, more changes are imminent. In May, it was revealed that Daniel Brocklebank, who portrays Billy Mayhew and joined the soap in 2014, had also been let go, reports Leicestershire Live.

Now, fans believe they've 'sussed out' the next star due to leave - and it's not looking good for Carla Connor (Alison King). On a Corrie Facebook fan page, viewers speculate that Carla's nephew, Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott), could be on his way out.

"Ngl I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan leaves eventually. He has no storyline, but there is plenty they could do with him. They just won't give him anything," one person commented.
One viewer concurred: "I thought that too, he's just there in the background it makes no sense." Another chimed in with: "Oh I really hope not, he should definitely be given more stuff." Meanwhile, a different fan added: "You're probably right."
Ryan has been a staple on the soap for years

Ryan first appeared on the soap in 2006, portrayed by Ben Thompson. He left Weatherfield in 2010 and returned for a year in 2012.

Fast forward to 2018, Ryan made his comeback to the cobbles and has been a fixture ever since.
Throughout his time on the show, Ryan has been central to numerous major storylines, including steroid abuse and being the target of a horrific acid attack, ensuring his tenure in Weatherfield has been anything but dull.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX

The show follows a transgender supermarket worker called Liv (Jordan Gray), who is hired by the manager in a bid to stop protests going on outside the Pellocks supermarket. Viewers have become hooked and luckily they can watch all six episodes on ITVX if they don't want to wait each week for a new one. Many have rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their rave reviews. '3 episodes done of new sitcom Transaction on Love it! Very funny and can't wait to watch the rest #Transaction.' The show follows a transgender supermarket worker called Liv (Jordan Gray), who is hired by the manager in a bid to stop protests going on outside the Pellocks supermarket 'Just watched the first episode of #Transaction on ITVX. If you know Jordan Gray and her humour, you'll love this.' 'Watching #Transaction and I must say, firstly, it's so funny.' Meanwhile others have rushed to IMDB to post what they think about it too. 'Brilliantly written, absolutely off the wall.' 'Refreshingly funny easy watch. Jordan Gray is amazing playing her quirky, egomaniac character. 'The show is very silly and easy to watch whilst doing other things, the comedy can be slightly low brow at times but it works with the ridiculous premise of the show and for her first sit-com is a true gem. 'The banter with the flatmate is top-notch and the whimsical shenanigans throughout the show just made me giggle the whole time.' 'Funny, self-aware, accomplished, and worth your time.' ITV's synopsis reads: 'A wickedly funny new sitcom with Jordan Gray & Nick Frost. 'Egomaniac Liv must fix a supermarket PR scandal that's outraged the trans community - but she's having fun first, of course!' The star-studded cast has also probably added to why people have been enjoying it so much. Nick Frost, Doon Mackichan, Thomas Gray and Francesca Mills joins Jordan on our screens. Speaking about her character, Jordan said of Liv to the Metro: 'She's a lone wolf character but really just wants to have a family. 'And then she finds this little weird dysfunctional family.' Meanwhile talking to Pink News, Jordan said: 'I started writing the first little version of it seven years ago, but it has been a good five years in development. Many have taken online to share their positive reviews about the programme - with one saying it's 'brilliantly written' 'It's weird because you get really good as a working-class comedian getting used to the suffering and the hard work. 'Now it's coming out, there's nothing to suffer for.' Jordan shot to fame in the 2000s. She has starred in the fifth series of The Voice UK in 2016. She's played herself on Friday Night Live, The Russell Howard Hour and Joe Lycett's Got Your Back.

BBC issues Call The Midwife statement after rumours show is being axed
The BBC has issued a statement after rumours Call The Midwife is being axed after 15 years on screen - with the broadcaster insisting the show will be back for a 16th series. The BBC has quashed rumours that Call the Midwife is facing cancellation, confirming that a 16th series is on the cards, although they've yet to set a date for its return. The much-anticipated 15th series is set to grace our screens from January next year, and fans can also look forward to a cinematic release of the show's movie version, as well as a prequel series set during WWII showcasing younger versions of the beloved characters. Reassurances have been made that the original cast will reprise their roles in the future instalments of the drama centred around the nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House. Speculation suggests that the format may shift from a traditional series to something more akin to ITV's Downton Abbey, which transitioned to producing films post-television series, reports the Mirror. A source revealed: "The intention is certainly for Call the Midwife to come back to the TV in one way or another. It could be that it returns as specials, rather than a full series, but we just don't know yet. But it will be back! Fans haven't seen the last of their favourite characters yet." In a statement released this morning, the BBC reassured viewers: "The BBC would like to reassure fans that Call The Midwife will remain at the heart of the BBC for years to come. "As previously announced, there are two Christmas specials, a new series, a film and prequel series, before a sixteenth series in due course. Call the Midwife isn't going anywhere." After a flood of messages on Scott Mills' Radio 2 breakfast show, listeners are sharing their sorrow over the announcement that the beloved drama will conclude after captivating audiences for 15 years. The series, inspired by Jennifer Worth's memoirs, premiered on BBC1 in 2012 and quickly became a cherished fixture, consistently featuring in the BBC's Christmas Day line-up. With current contracts for the cast extending until November this year, they are set to be renewed as preparations for the first movie adaptation get underway, with an official announcement already made. An insider revealed: "In terms of getting the cast back, production will work it all out before the end of filming next year." Speculation about the show's finale arose as cast members expressed their emotional state at the start of filming for next year's instalment, uncertain if it would be followed by another. However, in May, it was disclosed that the main series would merely "take a break" from BBC1 as focus shifts to a prequel series set during the war, featuring a new cast. The film, supported by BBC Film and starring the regular characters, is expected to begin shooting next year prior to its cinema debut. Show bosses allegedly wished to wrap up the series on a positive note according to sources. The Daily Star was reportedly informed by an insider: "After years of drama and countless births, Call The Midwife is coming to an end. The team have decided it's time to draw the show to a close and bow out. This is the last we'll see of these much-loved characters. Storylines will tie up a lot of loose ends." However, according to updates from earlier today, any feelings of sadness, and uncertainty were reportedly due to the fact that the popular show is being paused, and not coming to a complete end. There are also plans for the production of a prequel that is set during World War II, in the Blitz years. The prequel would include the appearance of younger versions of famous characters that form part of the show's current line-up. It will feature Jenny Agutter, Judy Parfitt, Stephen McGann, Cliff Parisi and possibly include Sister Evangelina as well. By contrast, the upcoming feature film will star the current cast and possibly some characters from the past returning to the show. The line-up could possibly include Miranda Hart who featured as Chummy and Miriam Margolyes who featured as Mother Mildred. There are hopes that the series could star big-name actors and actresses. One source previously revealed: "Joanna Lumley as a nun? Now that's something I'd like to see." The film is to be set abroad in 1972, marking a shift from the usual East End setting as it captures the nuns and nurses embracing an era of increased hospital births by utilising their skills overseas. Potential settings include Hong Kong, where this year's two-part Christmas special will unfold, or a return to South Africa, previously featured in 2016. Last month, insiders were keen to clarify that these new ventures would not spell the end for the original series, which they assured would continue "in due course" following the completion of these projects. Writer Heidi Thomas shared her excitement: "I have never run out of stories for our midwives, and I never will. But having wept, laughed, and raged my way from 1957 to 1971, I found myself yearning to delve into the deeper past." She delved further into the historical backdrop for the additional narrative: "The Blitz years in the East End were extraordinary - filled with loss, togetherness, courage and joy. The bombs fell, the babies kept on coming, and the Sisters kept on going. There will be so much in the prequel for our wonderful, loyal fans, including the appearance of some familiar (if much younger! ) faces." Executive producer Dame Pippa Harris also commented on the expansion of the show's universe: "It now feels like the right time to expand our world and take our nuns and midwives onto the big screen with our movie, and back in time with the prequel."
