Craig Gazey interview

Craig Gazey, in his three years on Coronation Street, has become a firm favourite with fans. Sadly, his days on the Street are numbered and there's a good-bye interview in today's Manchester Evening News.

He's still filming and will likely be on our screens until July. He says he is leaving because he is the type of actor "ducking and diving and doing different things". He's hoping to get back to stage work, something he's done since he was a child. He's serious about his craft, using past performances to fine tune and improve.

Graeme won't be killed off so he could come back in the future. Craig says he would not be against that but has no plans to at the moment. As for his future, he suspects he'll end up living in London due to more opportunities as well as having more chances to go to the theatre as an audience member. We wish him the best of luck.

And don't forget, he's running in the London Marathon. Sponsor him if you can!
