Ashley and Claire axed from Corrie!
Coronation Street’s much-loved characters Ashley and Claire Peacock are to be written out of the soap.
The couple, played by Steven Arnold, 35, and Julia Howarth, 30, were told their characters would be cut.
New producer Phil Collinson made a statement saying: “Ashley and Clare Peacock have been part of the fabric of Weatherfield for many years but like any community, people come and go.
“Both actors and myself felt that we had reached a crossroads with the characters, to the point that as actors they were not being fulfilled and stories were harder to find.”
Collinson continued: “We mutually decided to start working towards an exit for the Peacock family, giving the actors the chance to explore new opportunities and for us to devise a dramatic exit storyline.
“I wish Steven and Julia, and of course the young boys who play Josh and Freddie, all the best for the future.”
Will you be sorry to see Ashley and Claire go? Let us know!
