Coronation Street's Liam Connor is to be killed off at the end of the year in a 'whodunnit' murder mystery.

The former knicker factory boss, played by 31-year-old Rob James-Collier, announced his decision to quit the ITV soap in February amid fears over typecasting.

It has today emerged that his character will be 'brutally murdered' when one of three well-known Weatherfield residents exact their revenge.

A soap source told The Mirror: "Rob actually wanted his character to be killed off - a bit like Phil Middlemiss did when he also wanted the demise of his character, bookie Des Barnes.

"But at the same time it provides us with the fantastic opportunity to give the viewers some sensational TV. The producers are rubbing their hands at the prospect of the whole murder scenario."

They added: "People are sad to see Rob go as he is such a lovely bloke. But he was adamant that he wanted to leave."

Rob joined Coronation Street in 2006 and appeared in storylines which have seen his character plunge into a gorge from a cliff top, marry Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith) and sleep with his sister-in-law Carla Connor (Alison King).

Earlier this year, he won the 'Sexiest Male' gong for a second year running at the British Soap Awards and revealed soon afterwards that he is "glad" to be leaving the Manchester-based drama so he can ditch his sex symbol image.

P.S If you have noticed Steve Frosts name in the credits, here is the reason


Thank you for your e-mail. Kim Crowther is our current Producer but Steve Frost name still appears on the credits as the current episodes are the ones he Produced as we film at least eight weeks in advance of transmission and write and storyline episodes eight weeks prior to that. Kim's name will appear as Producer round about the second or third week in July. Best Wishes, David Nugent, Coronation Street.

July's (hopefully) sunny weather will have a volatile effect on the characters as there's one bust up after another.

Firstly, Becky and Roy have a huge fight. Will this unlikely pairing ever be able to get over their hurtful exchange?

A Corrie couple break up - but not before she makes him feel truly rubbish! Who could they be?

Tony's also on a roll, letting nothing stand in the way of his ever expanding business empire. The fight gets dirty and needless to say it doesn't make him popular with certain Weatherfield residents.

The newly appointed factory boss may be the bad guy for some, but not others, as Dev admires him from afar. July is the period of reflection for the shopkeeper. However he's not the only one re-evaluating his life, as a university reunion prompts Ken to ponder what he's achieved. Is this some sort of mid-life crises for the pair?

We will also see a familiar and not so welcome face back on the cobbles - but what does he want?

There is some good news though as wedding bells begin to chime in the distance...
