Charlie Condou to leave the Street

ITV have today announced that Charlie Condou is set to leave Coronation Street. His exit storyline will see Marcus falling for the recently returned Todd Grimshaw and doing what we've all been doing for the past year or so: questioning his relationship with Maria.

In order for the storyline to be fully developed, Charlie has agreed to stay on until early summer 2014 but has revealed that the producers will keep the door open for Marcus.

Speaking about the departure he had this to say: "I've had a fantastic time at Corrie but feel it's time for me to move on. I was only meant to return for three months and ended up staying for three years! The producers have been really supportive and are leaving the door open for Marcus which is great, and my exit will certainly be explosive."
