Tissues at the ready, Coronation Street fans! It’s time to wave goodbye to a favourite, as James Bailey (Nathan Graham) leaves Weatherfield.

The footballer’s departure comes about after Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) tells him that there is a youth centre near Lewisham looking for a football coach.

Realising it’s close to where former beau Danny lives, James promises to call them straight away, before subsequently revealing that he got the job!

James breaks the news to the family, confirming he’s moving to London. Ed (Trevor Michael Georges), Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw), Michael (Ryan Russell) and Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) bid an emotional farewell to him as he leaves the street.

Farewell James!

Max Turner (Paddy Bever), meanwhile, suffers a devastating ordeal, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) has some explaining to do when his anniversary prank doesn’t go as planned and Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) suffers an accident.

Sounds like it’s all kicking off on the cobbles!

Coronation Street airs these scenes w/c Monday October 3 on ITV.
