Privacy NoticeCoronation Street star Bill Fellows is reported to have quit the soap as chef Stu Carpenter. The actor, who plays the ex-jailbird in the ITV soap, will bow out later this year after three years of dramatic storylines. According to reports, Bill signed a three year contract when he joined the show and decided early on that this was the time he wanted to do on the soap. A source told The Sun: “Three years is a long time to spend playing one role and while Bill has loved his time at Corrie, he’s ready to move on. “He told bosses earlier this year that he would like to leave at the end of his three-year contract and they have crafted an exciting exit storyline for him. “He will still be on screen for some time yet but it gave him a chance to say yes to a number of jobs he was keen to do later this year.”

Bill joined Coronation Street as Stu in 2021. Stu was introduced when Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) encountered him while living on the streets. The character has gone on to feature in a number of key storylines over his three years in Weatherfield. Bill arrived in Corrie fresh from his success as George in international hit Ted Lasso, a role played until the Apple TV series ended. He has also starred in shows including Downton Abbey, Broadchurch and Casualty. It’s yet to be revealed how exactly Stu will depart the cobbles, though it’s possible that his exit will be tied to Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), the bully who terrorised Street teen Liam earlier this year. Viewers have watched recently as formerly homeless Stu has decided to take bullying thug Mason under his wing having discovered he was sleeping rough.

Stu faced an outcry from locals after he offered Mason a job at Speed Daal where he works and gave him a room at the house he shares with girlfriend Yasmeen (played by Shelley King). Stu, however, has no idea that Mason is holding a secret. The lad ran Stu’s granddaughter Eliza down earlier this year, breaking her arm. If Stu finds out, his reaction is bound to be explosive. Stu’s already been behind bars once for a murder he didn’t commit – could be go there again, but this time for one that he did? Bill will become the latest star to depart the cobbles this year, with Peter Ash (Paul Foreman) and Lisa George (Beth) set to leave. Corrie icon Helen Worth also announced she is leaving the soap after 50 years playing Gail Platt.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
