Two Coronation Street stars will be leaving the show this summer as things on the ITV soap get set to "implode".
Farrel Hagerty and Joe Layton both debuted on Corrie in February as Lou and Mick Michaelis.
But it appears the on-screen couple's time on the show will be coming to an end a lot sooner than fans expected.

Hagerty, hinting at her exit from the show in The Sun, said: "There's a lot more to come from these two, I'm afraid to say.
"I think there's a lot happening. It's all about to come to a head, it's all about to implode."

Hagerty and Layton are still filming, but their final scenes on the cobbles are set to play out during the summer, a Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed.

The spokesperson, speaking to The Sun, said: "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."
You can watch Coronation Street Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream on ITVX from 7am.
