Coronation Street fans have been left heartbroken after it emerged a legendary character was allegedly 'axed via email' from the soap after 27 years on the cobbles.
Coronation Street fans were gobsmacked to learn that a legendary Weatherfield resident, who has graced the show for nearly three decades, is reportedly set to be axed. Bruce Jones, famed for his portrayal of Les Battersby over ten years, was allegedly told of his on-screen demise via email.
The fan had posted a gif of a woman in shock, captioned with: "#Corrie are killing off Les Battersby..." To which Vicky replied, "I know Bruce told me a couple of months ago after receiving an email." The Battersbys made their entrance on the cobbles back in 1997, with Bruce Jones portraying Les for a solid decade until 2007. The character was hitched to Janice and they had Leanne as their daughter and Toyah as their stepdaughter, reports the Mirror.
