Who will leave Coronation Street tonight? Contains a spoiler

[Kate!]

So its an anniversary episode tonight and one major character will leave the show .... but who?

I'm mystified. Rita?

Post your theories here....xx

[Marsh.]

Hopefully Fiz or Tyrone or any of the ones they claim is the "next _____ [insert iconic character]" but it couldn't be further from the truth.

[LaLaLand]

I'd be happy with any of Ken, Rita, Fiz, Shaun, Roy, Carla, Peter. Even Gail/Audrey.

I'm bored of watching them re-hash the same half-assed storylines over and over for them tbh, despite how "legendary" some/most of them are.

[Amy Jade]

Hope it isn't Rita

Isn't Liz leaving?

[Kate!]

Hope it isn't Rita

Isn't Liz leaving?

Yes I believe so. Not sure if she is on the Blackpool trip though? Not watching Corrie tonight.

[Kate!]

:shocked: it was Ken!!

[Saph]

what happened

[Amy Jade]

Ken won't go, Bill Roache who plays him just signed a new contract. The exit was Dennis

[Kate!]

what happened

Ken has decided to leave the street.

[smudgie]

Time he did leave, but the only realistic story is if he left in a box.
Far too much family to leave behind.

Millions of Coronation Street fans were shocked tonight to see Ken Barlow make the heartbreaking decision to leave the cobbles for pastures new.

After much soul searching Ken decided the time has come to leave Number 1 Coronation Street, the house that has been home for most of his life.

Just before the credits rolled on the historical 10000th episode of the world’s longest running drama serial, the man who was in the very first episode in 1960 bid a fond farewell to his ‘old friend’ the cobbles to move away with girlfriend Claudia Colby.

But fans needn’t worry that this is the last they will see of him, actor William Roache is not leaving the show.

Ken will move out of number one and away from the Street but future episodes will follow Ken and Claudia’s new life at Still Waters Luxury retirement complex, whilst back in Weatherfield Tracy and Peter Barlow will battle over who gets to move into the most famous house on the street.

In Monday night’s episodes (Feb 10th) Ken and Claudia will break the news to the family about their decision to sell up and live a quieter life at Still Waters.

Tracy immediately has her eye on the prize, and despite Carla’s lack of enthusiasm Peter decides to fight his sister for the house - both of them wanting it at a knockdown price.

As Ken despairs at his warring family it confirms he is making the right decision to leave and next month viewers will see him and Claudia move into the luxurious development complete with cocktail bar, book club and even fencing lessons

Ken is delighted to discover that his old friends Norris and Freda are already settled in to life at Still Waters but when he crosses swords with fellow resident Charles, played by Michael Elwyn it looks as though there may be just as much drama as there was on the cobbles!

Who is Dennis?

[Marsh.]

Time he did leave, but the only realistic story is if he left in a box.
Far too much family to leave behind.

He's going to live in a home.

[Scarlett.]

Who is Dennis?

Dennis Tanner, he got killed off and they were spreading his ashes

[Marsh.]

Thought he died years ago tbh.

He went off with Barbara from the Royle Family IIRC (Stella's mum), they did his character so wrong, given he was one of the originals

So did Rita receive a call he died? Where was Barbara? :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

She just got his ashes in the mail, god knows where Barbara went to xD

[Amy Jade]

She got his ashes by post, the instructions were inside.

Gloriaa's name wasn't mentioned but she was a selfish cow on the show so cant imagine she'd have stuck around to nurse Dennis.

[Rob!]

Ken is leaving the street, but not the show

Not a sitcom spin off

[Marsh.]

Actually, I've just remembered didn't Dennis return briefly after splitting up with Sue Johnston. Where did he go from there?

[Scarlett.]

Ah yes he did return and he punched Norris or something then left

[MB.]

Not a sitcom spin off

Ken Behaving Badly?

[Scarlett.]

The whole Stillwater thing does sound spin off-y

TBH, having one episode a week taking places at places like that would lessen the load of havin to catch up on 5 episodes a week

An urn.

[Marsh.]

An urn.

:laugh2:

[Cherie]
