Coronation Street star Calum Lill is reportedly leaving the soap after just a year of playing villainous character Joel Deering, and is said to have a new job in the works already.
Calum Lill has sent shivers down Coronation Street viewers' backs over recent months with his character Joel Deering's harrowing storyline, where he attacked Lauren Bolton .
"Calum has made a huge impact as Joel over the last year but he always knew it would be for a fixed term. He’s been great playing Joel but all good soap villains must get their comeuppance and Joel’s is coming very soon," a source told The Sun. The production runs from Sat 7 Dec 2024 to Sun 5 Jan 2025, meaning Calum will likely be finished up with the soap before then - as stars cannot usually star in stage shows while on the show.
On screen, Joel became front and centre of Lauren's disappearance storyline earlier this year - as the character mysteriously vanished from Weatherfield back in February.
