Corrie fans issue same response actor reveals co-star's mum's thoughts on axe
Colson's time as his policing alter-ego Craig Tinker in the ITV soap is coming to an end
Coronation Street fans were left with the same reaction as Colson Smith revealed what his co-star's mum thought about his upcoming exit from Weatherfield.
The actor confirmed earlier this month that as he prepares to mark 14 years in Weatherfield this summer, his time as his policing alter-ego Craig Tinker is coming to an end after soap chiefs told him his character had reached the end of the road.
In a social media post, shared to X and Instagram alongside a picture of himself portraying Craig as a police officer, he announced: "Autumn last year I was told that Craig Tinker's time on the Cobbles is to come to end in 2025. I've loved every single second of my 14 year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world."
The 26-year-old added: "I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street. I've learned pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I’m excited to play out the exit story for Our Craigy."
Colson later spoke at length about how he was told about Craig's departure from Weatherfield and the events that followed with his co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Price on the podcast they host, On the Sofa.
It was later in the podcast episode that Jack was able to share an amusing anecdote. Colson asked him: "How has your mum taken the news?" to which Jack said: "My mum was asking about the podcast and me and Ben didn't rush off to tell people that you were leaving or anything like that
"I was with my mum one weekend when the news wasn't out and she'd been watching Corrie. She was saying, 'I think it's amazing at the minute. It's really good. And do you know who else is really coming on? Colson'. Honestly, she went, 'I think his character is going from strength to strength'. She went, 'They've brought in new officers now, there's the other coppers coming in so there's a community of coppers going on and now he can blossom...'"

"She's got two shopping bags in her hand and she's banging on about how she thinks Colson is the next big thing in the show. So I went, 'Let me just stop you right there, he's been binned!'"
Colson and Ben laughed as Jack continued: "She just stood on Harrogate high street with her bags and went, 'Why!?' and I carried on walking..." Colson said: "I said to Jack, 'Have you told your mum?' and he went, 'Yeah why?' and I said, 'I've been getting messages on Instagram..."
The clip of Jack talking about his mum's reaction has since been sharing to On the Sofa's Instagram page alongside the caption: "'WHHHHHYYYYY???' Safe to say Jacky P’s mum has been devastated by Colson’s recent news. Check out the link in our bio for all the boys’ latest nonsense in the new episode."
And it didn't take fans long to respond. @barbyboo said: "I second that whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" @josephxuereb replied: "Me too, his character was getting better and better." @jane__heather commented: "Whhhyyyy is right. Sad to see him go." @febinnie wrote: "Me too. Why?" @nannette43 added: "I agree! Why???"
