Writing on Twitter today, Ben said: "Back in Aug, I took the very tough decision to leave the @itvcorrie writing team. My last ep is on at 7:30 tonight. Absolutely loved my 3 years on the show. It has been an honour and a privilege. Best wishes to all on the cobbles! #corrie #CoronationStreet"

Frosty actually thought the episodes were quite good yesterday, so a good debut. Jenny Bradley with her nicey façade that you just know is going to drop soon. Can’t wait for her to come face to face with Big Red! Not sure about the Irish patient, no doubt he will end up obsessed with and stalking Vanilla Sinead. The business with Calum walking into the Platt’s house like he owns the place and David – what happened to the Demon? - almost cowering in his presence is becoming more than tiresome now. A Nazir free zone is alway a good thing too!
Ooh hello Ben Tagoe. He could lead me to a dramatic climax any time.
Grow up Sean Tulley!!! This is a family board.
Isn't it more likely that Callum would send one of his many henchmen to deliver letters, put the frighteners on David? David could have got an injunction against Callum so that he goes nowhere near Max. Hoping this story isn't lined to Kylie's return or Katy leaving as both storylines are months away.
I must say Jenny Bradley looks pretty good for 44.
True that.
Let's hope this new writer has watched the show and keeps some history and continuity with the characters.
