Coronation Street legend 'next to leave' as fans fear over cast cull

ok.co.uk:

The cobbles have been riddled with departures recently, and now a Coronation Street stalwart is expected to be the next in line for an exit.The ITV soap has witnessed a spate of goodbyes with Sue Cleaver, Daisy Midgeley, and Yasmeen Nazir among those making their departures known in recent months, sparking rumours of more stars either being cut or opting to leave Weatherfield.

Bookmakers are now suggesting that the iconic Michael Le Vell might be waving goodbye to his role as Kevin Webster after an impressive tenure spanning over four decades.

Entertainment expert at Gambling.com, James Leyfield remarked, "It looks set to be a tough start to 2025 for Kevin, who will be diagnosed with testicular cancer," adding, "It's just 11/10 that Michael leaves Weatherfield this year." This indicates there's nearly a 50 percent likelihood that the actor will depart from the show.

Should he exit, Michael would join his on-screen sister Sue Devaney, known as Debbie Webster, who is also gearing up to leave later this year.
