All the Coronation Street cast exits, returns and changes coming in 2026
Changes at Coronation Street took place all throughout 2025, with further cast alterations expected in 2026.
2025 saw Max Turner (Paddy Bever), Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King), Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) and Jenny Connor (Sally-Ann Matthews) all depart the cobbles, though we’ve also seen some notable debuts.
We’ve 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), who has started abusing 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 leaving and returning…

It’s been confirmed that Daniel Brocklebank is leaving Corrie, after playing vicar Billy Mayhew for the past 11 years.
Discussing his departure, Daniel said: ‘I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life. I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not look forward to going into work.
He added: ‘I love everyone who works on this show and whilst I am sad to be going, I am equally excited to see what the future holds.’
Producer of the show Kate Brooks noted: ‘Billy will be involved in a major storyline over the coming months, which will see him tested in ways he never imagined, as friendships and his faith are pushed to the limit.
‘We’re incredibly sad to bid farewell to Dan, who has been fantastic in some of Corrie’s biggest storylines over the past few years, most notably Paul’s MND.
‘An actor of immeasurable talent and skill, and an absolute treasure behind the scenes – he will be missed by all of us on the cobbles.’
When is Billy Mayhew leaving Coronation Street? Later this year.
