It’s fair to say the ITV show has undergone a cast change in recent months, as several exits have taken place already in 2025. Max Turner (Paddy Bever) was sent to prison for six years, and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) was brutally killed off after 14 years.
Meanwhile, soap legend Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) also left the cobbles after 25 years and headed thousands of miles away to Thailand.
However, there are still plenty more changes ahead as it was recently confirmed by soap boss Iain MacLeod that a beloved Weatherfield resident will be killed off in the new year, as part of the historic crossover with soap Emmerdale in early 2026.
