Coronation Street fans predict affair between characters before one leaves show
Coronation Street fans are predicting an affair will be taking place between two characters on the show soon, before one of the actors leaves the ITV soap in the summer. This speculation emerged after Wednesday's (May 28) episode, where Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) continued dealing with the fallout of Craig Tinker's (Colson Smith) death. Craig was attacked by Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) and later died from his injuries in heartbreaking scenes. With Mick currently behind bars, Lou is being shunned by the community because of her husband's actions. After Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) sacked Lou from her job at the salon, she exchanged words with Gary Windass (Mikey North) at the pub, asking what she's ever done wrong to him. Seeing Lou's card get declined, Gary bought them both a drink and sat with her. However, their conversation was cut short after Maria stumbled upon the duo and demanded that Gary return home. As reported by The Express, this short interaction between Lou and Gary caused some to believe an affair storyline was going to develop between them. Taking to social media, one person said: "Calling it now - IF Lou is staying around long enough, I wonder if she'll have an affair with Gary before she goes." Another wrote: "I think they may be pushing towards a Lou/Gary affair." A third posted: "Keep your undies on, Gary, don't be going down the Lou route." If this theory is to be proved true, it will have to be done quickly as Lou actress Farrel Hegarty is set to leave the soap at some point in the summer. A Coronation Street spokesperson said: "This is not a shock exit or an early exit.

"Joe and Farrell were contracted for a specific length of time, some characters come in for a long time and some like Mick and Lou are brought to pass through and leave a trail of destruction behind them. "Both actors are still filming with the show and will be on screen until the summer."

Watch the moment Coronation Street's Gary Windass is left dripping in blood after explosive fight with new arch enemy
CORONATION Street's Gary Windass was left dripping in blood following an explosive fight with his new arch enemy. The builder, played by Mikey North, was left furious after discovering that Mick had locked Gary's step-son Liam in a cabinet for hours - leaving him terrified. 5 5 5 Gary confronted him about this which led to a massive confrontation between the pair in the builder's yard before Mick ultimately found himself fired. Not going down without a fight, Mick issued a chilling warning to Gary to insist that he would regret giving him the push from the job. And it seemed that he is one to stick true to his word. Later on, Mick confronted Gary on the street which led the pair to brawl with one another in broad daylight. Mick landed a series of blows to Gary's face before pushing him over. With blood dripping from his face, Gary managed to get back up and picked up a bottle from the street in his hand but he was soon interrupted by PC Kit Green. Kit had watched the full interaction - including Mick's vicious assault on Gary - but he refused to step in and instead told them both to clear off. Kit later said to Gary that he needed to watch himself around Mick. Dumbfounded, Gary couldn't understand why Kit would not intervene and was left puzzled as to why he was seemingly protecting Mick and letting him take the fall for it. As the episode went on, Kit hauled Gary into the police station as he issued him with yet another warning to back off Mick and to keep quiet about the day's events. Coronation Street's Gary Windass betrays Maria Connor - and races to destroy the evidence Viewers of the ITV soap opera know that Kit feels uneasy around Mick and has already helped to cover for him before. He also has a past with Mick's girlfriend Lou but all the finer details are yet to be revealed. But with Gary now hellbent on getting revenge against the both of them - will Kit's secrets bubble to the surface? And will his corrupt policing ways be exposed to the Street? Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025 ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap. This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama. Colson Smith - Craig Tinker The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig's on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role. Sue Cleaver - Eileen Grimshaw After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I'm A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she's already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future. Luca Toolan - Mason Radcliffe Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him. Sue Devaney - Debbie Webster In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline. Charlotte Jordan - Daisy Midgeley The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she's hungry to see what other opportunities await. Shelley King - Yasmeen Metcalfe The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes.
