We found out this week that Charlie Condou, who plays Marcus Dent, will be leaving Coronation Street next year. In a comment left on that blog post, it was pointed out that the departure of Marcus brings the total number of Corrie characters set to depart the Street in 2014 to the grand total of seven.
When you think of it in those terms, it's quite a shock to realise we're going to lose so many of them in the coming months.
Who are those seven who are leaving next year? Well, six are definites and have been confirmed - and one is just a tabloid rumour, so far.
But the seven set for the Corrie chop are Peter Barlow (rumoured) and confirmed are Marcus Dent, Stella Price, Gloria Price, Hayley Cropper, Tina McIntyre and Brian Packham.
