Corrie exit confirmed for icon as heartbreaking final scenes air tonight
Coronation Street actor Martin Hancock has teased it might not be over for his character Spider, as he confirmed his looming exit on the ITV soap which will air tonight.
Spider will depart the show in the upcoming episode after returning last year, having been offscreen for decades. The character was caught up in a shooting drama this week following a death threat.
In the fallout, viewers saw Spider and Toyah appearing to end their romance once again, as Spider was forced to choose between his job as an undercover police officer and his relationship.
Having just been offered a new job away from the street, Spider felt it was the right time to continue his work in exposing criminals. But it meant he picked the job over Toyah, calling it quits with her in emotional scenes.
