Coronation Street star Bill Fellows has confirmed his exit from the show after rumours he’d be bowing out after three years. The actor first appeared on the ITV soap back in 2021 as Stu Carpenter.
Viewers were first introduced to the character when he inadvertently saved the vital piece of evidence which showed that Corey Brent was guilty of the murder of Seb Franklin months earlier in May 2021.
Soon after the breakthrough in the tragic hate crime case, Kelly Neelan, who had been wrongly convicted of Seb’s murder, was freed and later came across Stu on the streets.

Once she found a home back in Weatherfield, Kelly came to Stu’s rescue and he’s since found his own home on the street, living with Yasmeen Metcalfe and working as a chef at her restaurant Speed Daal.
More recently, Corrie fans have seen Stu discover he was framed for the murder he was imprisoned for by his ex-wife and his daughter and later had to say goodbye to his granddaughter Eliza when headed to Germany to live with her dad.
It would seem life hasn’t been the same for Stu in Weatherfield and he’s now turning his focus to helping Weatherfield High bully Mason Radcliffe turn his life around.
But recently taking to Instagram, actor Bill shared a picture of a leaving gift from his co-stars as he confirmed his exit. Bill revealed he had received a portrait of himself signed with sweet messages from the cast.
Captioning the post, the 67-year-old wrote: “Nice parting give with a top quality bottle of Champagne x”. Bill’s co-stars were quick to respond to the post.
Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow in Corrie, wrote: “Going to miss you in work!!” alongside crying emojis. Nina actress Mollie Gallagher echoed: “Gonna miss you,” as Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren Bolton, shared: “We will miss you”. Jack Webster star Kyran Bowes also added: “Love this @fellows9690 you will be missed.”
Now, spoilers have revealed that a potential murder twist could be on the cards. Next week when Kit Green and PC Craig Tinker study CCTV from a train station car park and see a missing Joel Deering and then his dad, Gus, around a locker. Kit then interviews Gus and demands some answers.
But later, on a riverbank, three lads spot a body floating in the water. Craig approaches DS Lisa Swain and Kit and announces that they’ve found Joel’s body. Kit steals himself to break the news to Dee Dee and Lauren at the hospital while Lisa breaks the news to people in the Rovers.
Kit calls back at the hospital and tells Lauren that the post-mortem revealed that Joel was dead before he entered the river, so they’re now looking at a murder investigation. He goes on to question Lauren about where she was on the night of Joel’s death, the 27th September while Dee-Dee tells Ed and Ronnie Bailey that Joel was murdered.
Later, Kit reveals to Lisa that Joel died from two blows to the head, inflicted by a heavy weapon, most likely a crowbar. Lisa is shocked to discover from Yasmeen Nazier that she threw Mason Radcliffe out because he had a crowbar and Betsy is intrigued when her mum tells her to stay away from Mason.
Betsy goes on to warn Mason that the police are onto him. And as a result, behind the factory, Mason disposes of the crowbar in a bin but is caught in the act by Kit. How will Mason get out of this one? And will it lead to Stu’s eventual exit from Weatherfield? Only time will tell.
