Read more on Coronation StreetJust this month long-term viewers of the show branded its current storylines as ‘grim and depressing’ and said there was ‘no enjoyment’ in tuning in.
It comes after Coronation Street bosses are set to offer the cast short contracts sparking fears further cast culls will be made.
At the start of the year The Sun told how telly production costs and a fall in advertising has put the future of the UK’s most-watched soap at risk.
One tough decision, that has infuriated show stars, is a decision to slash the number of established characters in scenes taking place in the iconic Rovers Return pub.

Every time they appear they are due a per-episode fee, which can mount up for actors on lucrative deals.
Sue Cleaver, Charlotte Jordan and Shelley King are among the fan-favourites who have quit the cobbles so far this year.
Coronation Street star who had ‘one decent storyline’ leaves after 11 years on screenTo combat falling ratings, Corrie has signed three new hunks with a Hollywood actor, a star of the Archers and a major recast.
The ITV soap is bringing in three characters to shake up the cobbles in a series of explosive storylines.
After almost 40 years of being mentioned on the cobbles, Carl Webster will make his first appearance - and he’s being played by a Hollywood star.
Brit actor Jonathan Howard, who has appeared in Thor: The Dark World, Downton Abbey and Godzilla King of the Monsters, will take the role of Kevin and Debbie Webster’s younger brother.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
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. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
The Bailey family will also welcome back son James - but this time with a new face.
Actor Nathan Graham has been replaced with newcomer Jason Callender taking over the role.
