One Coronation Street star’s departure from the ITV soap has been confirmed after two years on the cobbles – and his final scenes have already aired on screen
Coronation Street star Jack Carroll, known for his role as Bobby Crawford on the ITV soap, has left the show after two years – and fans have already seen his final scenes.
The 26-year-old, who previously starred on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, joined the soap in 2023 as the nephew of Carla Connor, and the secret son of Rob Donovan.
Last year, fans were left puzzled regarding the whereabouts of the character with some believing he had secretly quit the show then.
He featured quite heavily in the soap earlier in the year and then suddenly disappeared with no mention of where he was. It’s now been confirmed that Bobby has made his exit from the soap, although the door has been left open for a return.
A source told The Mirror: «Bobby has had a dramatic couple of years on the cobbles, but the time has come to bid farewell. Actor Jack enjoyed his time on the soap, but it’s time to move on. Viewers won’t see the character exit the street as he’s already left, with Jack filming his final scenes some time ago.»
«The door has been left open for Jack should he wish to come back to the show in the future. With his Aunty Carla there, Bobby will always have a place in Weatherfield.»
The character was last seen in the soap last month when he headed off to Spain to visit Simon Barlow. The trip came after he was accused of being Lauren Bolton’s blackmailer.
During his time on the cobbles, Jack’s character Bobby was involved in a number of hard hitting storylines, including his shock reveal that he was killer Rob Donovan’s secret son. His aunty Carla took him under her wing, but was left reeling when she found out Bobby had planned to help Rob escape after he had kidnapped her.
Jack’s exit follows a number of departures of young actors from the soap. Recently, Colson Smith left the soap after his character Craig Tinker was killed on the line of duty.
Luca Toolan also departed the soap after his character Mason Radcliffe was stabbed and killed. Charlotte Jordan, who played Daisy Midgley also left the soap earlier this year as she left for Bali.
Coronation Street has also seen departures of legends in recent months with Helen Worth and Sue Cleaver departing from their roles as Gail Platt and Eileen Grimshaw.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
