Who is leaving Coronation Street this year?

Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew)

Evil Geoff Metcalfe has been making wife Yasmeen’s life unbearable for over a year now.

But now show boss Iain Mcleod has confirmed he will finally get his comeuppance for all the hurt he has caused in Weatherfield.

It has also been revealed the character - played by Ian Bartholomew - will not get away with his crimes so he’ll either end up in prison, or dead.
