This development coincides with the impending departure of Lauren’s on-screen boyfriend, Max Turner, played by Paddy Bever, from the ITV soap. Paddy has already filmed his final scenes, and his character will exit the show in early spring.
The show’s producers have been aware of Paddy’s decision to leave since March last year, allowing them ample time to craft an exit storyline for his character. This storyline will unfold amidst significant turmoil for the Platt family in the coming weeks.
In a statement to The Mirror, Paddy explained: “After much reflection and in an incredibly difficult decision, I have chosen to step away from Max, and Coronation Street, to explore new opportunities.”
Paddy expressed his gratitude for the support he received during his time on the show, saying: “I have been surrounded by such kindness and support every step of the way. It’s been a great privilege to contribute to the legacy of such a well-loved and iconic show. This chapter has been unforgettable and while I look forward to what lies ahead, I will treasure these memories.”
