A number of 'Coronation Street's favourite characters are reported to be departing our screens in the coming months.
According to media reports, Richard Fleeshman (Craig Harris), Kate Ford (Tracy Barlow) and Bill Ward (Charlie Stubbs) are all set to leave the soap in the near future.
Fleeshman, who won the television talent contest 'Soapstar Superstar', is reported to be leaving the soap to pursue a career in music.
Johnny Briggs, who plays Mike Baldwin, also recently filmed his last scenes for the show, after a dramatic storyline which saw his character crumble after being diagnosed with Alzheimers disease.
