Full list of Coronation Street cast returns, arrivals and exits in 2025

Changes are still 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 in the back of a taxi.

We’ve also been introduced to Kevin and Debbie Webster’s (Michael Le Vell and Sue Devaney) estranged brother Carl (Jonathan Howard), as well as Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), a new fella for Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).

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 Habeeb (Georgia Taylor)?

It’s also been reported that she’s set to take over as the new landlady of the Rovers!

When is Eva Price returning to Coronation Street? Autumn 2025.

Christina Boyd

Amy Robbins will return to Coronation Street very soon, 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? August 2025.

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.

CORONATION STREET CAST EXITS

Jenny Connor

Sally Ann Matthews has confirmed her departure from the soap, 39 years after her departure.

The Jenny Connor actress took to Instagram to share a picture of Jenny during one of her most hard-hitting storylines, which saw the character kidnap Jack Webster after the loss of her own son.

Alongside the picture she wrote: ‘I was supposed to stay for five months but ended up doing an extra ten years because I loved it so much!

‘It’s time though to play those parts I always hoped I would when I’d “grown up.” Thanks Trafford Wharf Rd for the memories and endless laughter.’

When is Jenny Connor leaving Coronation Street? Currently unknown.

Debbie Webster

Debbie Webster is set to be killed off in a harrowing storyline, which kicked off earlier this year.

Viewers have seen the character – first played by Sue Devaney in 1984 – diagnosed with dementia, with a long-running storyline planned as the disease takes hold.

It’s one of many major plots new Corrie boss Kate Brooks has planned after taking the helm earlier this year.

A source exclusively told Metro ‘there will not be a dry eye in the house’ as Debbie’s story unfolds, saying her exit will be ‘one to remember for years’.

‘It’s one of the show’s biggest storylines of the year and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline,’ the insider told us.
