Coronation Street actor Ian Puleston-Davies, who plays Owen Armstrong, is leaving Coronation Street.
Ian says: "Next year I will have been playing Owen Armstrong for five years and it felt like a good point to move on. I have returned to my writing and in 2015 hope to put on a new play. But I'd never rule out returning to the role of Owen at some point."
Corrie Producer Stuart Blackburn said: "We wish Ian all the very best and there is still a lot of fantastic drama to come for him before he leaves."
I wish Ian well. Owen is a hugely believable character and I will miss him. Without him, I wonder if there's room for Eddie Windass to return to Anna's life? Bring back Steve Huison!
