Coronation Street Exit 

It has been confirmed that Coronation Street actor Farrel Hegarty, who joined the soap as Lou Michaelis earlier this year, will be leaving the cobbles in an exit storyline set to play out this summer. 

Hegarty's departure is expected to take place at the same time as co-star Joe Layton – aka Lou's husband Mick – also leaves the soap. 

Layton's departure was confirmed in March, and ITV has said that the duo were always intended to be on the show for a specific timeframe. 

A Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed the news,saying: "This is not a shock exit or an early exit. Mick and Lou were brought into the show to cause chaos on the cobbles in the build-up to a major storyline in the summer and they are already making their presence felt.  

"Joe and Farrell were contracted for a specific length of time, some characters come in for a long time and some like Mick and Lou are brought to pass through and leave a trail of destruction behind them. Both actors are still filming with the show and will be on screen until the summer."
