Changes are currently taking place at Coronation Street, and there’s a lot going on.
There’s been plenty of exits this year already – from Max Turner (Paddy Bever), who is now serving a six-year prison sentence, and Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) who left for a new life in London.
Let’s not forget Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) who also bid farewell to the cobbles earlier this month.
We’ve also been introduced to Kevin and Debbie Webster’s (Michael Le Vell and Sue Devaney) estranged brother Carl (Jonathan Howard).
However, there are still plenty more changes ahead as we prepare to say goodbye to some beloved characters, as well as welcoming some familiar faces home.
Here’s the lowdown on who’s returning and who’s leaving…
CORONATION STREET CAST RETURNS
Eva Price
Fans rejoiced when news broke that Eva Price is set to return to Coronation Street, with Catherine Tyldesley reprising her role on a full-time basis.

The character was last on our screens in 2018, when she departed Weatherfield with daughter Susie, following Aidan Connor’s devastating suicide.
Her storyline is set to be an ‘unmissable’ one, with Cath set to start filming in the Summer.
But will Eva have Susie by her side, and what will that mean for Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor)?
When is Eva Price returning to Coronation Street? Autumn 2025.
Christina Boyd
Amy Robbins will return to Coronation Street later this year, and her villainous alter-ego won’t have changed her ways!

In her most recent stint, Christina has teamed up with daughter Daisy to enact a vicious plot on Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) – setting up a fake dating profile in the hope Jenny will give her savings to her new lover, while they’d secretly reap the benefits.
Despite Christina’s exit this week, she will come back to Weatherfield soon.
When is Christina Boyd returning to Coronation Street? Currently unknown
Bethany Platt
Bethany Platt is set to return to the cobbles later this year as actress Lucy Fallon returns from maternity leave.

Bethany left the cobbles for a new job opportunity in London earlier this year, but she will be back before we know it, with Lucy already filming again.
She posted a selfie from her dressing room to Instagram, exciting fans ahead of the character’s return.
‘And just like that she’s back,’ the star wrote.
In April, a Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed to Metro that ‘Lucy will be returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave, as always planned’, and that ‘Bethany will be back on screen in October’.
When is Bethany Platt returning to Coronation Street? October 2025.
Gail Chadwick
Although she’s only just left the show, executive producer Iain MacLeod has already teased a return for Gail.
‘Helen and I have had a conversation where she’s said, “There might be times in my future where I’ll come back”,’ he told The Daily Star.
‘If there’s a big storyline going on with the Platt family, she might want to come in and play a role in that.
‘We certainly wanted to leave the door open so that was possible. We wanted that to still be on the cards.’
While there are no plans yet for the beloved character to return, we’re hopeful we may see her again.
When is Gail Chadwick returning to Coronation Street? Currently unknown (when or if!).
Other characters…
Producer Kate Brooks as also teased returns for other characters, but her lips are tightly sealed.
‘There are other familiar faces coming back in 2025 which I will not disclose, but a few people will be returning to the street to cause their own forms of chaos,’ she told us.
