Coronation Street could see five characters exit Weatherfield soap as major storylines come to an end

After what many viewers considered a slightly underwhelming Christmas episode, Coronation Street is reportedly considering a shake-up. Rumours include lining up as many as five exits from the show next month involving two separate storylines.

One of them involves Griff Reynolds, who is a far-right extremist . He has been leading a racist group and regularly butts heads with Maria Connor, who was involved in trying to help refugees.  With the conclusion of this narrative on the horizon, Griff could be one of the characters to depart the long-running soap.
