Coronation Street reveals sad Ryan Connor update and fans will be heartbroken
Coronation Street has dropped a bombshell about one of its iconic characters and fans will be devastated.
Ryan Connor, portrayed by Ryan Prescott, first graced the cobbles of the ITV soap in 2006, originally played by Ben Thompson. As Michelle Connor’s (Kym Marsh) son, it wasn’t long before Ryan found himself embroiled in various dramatic storylines.
From steroid misuse to dabbling in online adult work, Ryan’s stint in Weatherfield has been anything but dull. His romantic escapades have also been a hot topic among the locals.
Ryan has had his fair share of love interests on the cobbles, including Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote), Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), and a scandalous affair with Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).
Moreover, in 2023, he was the unintended victim of a horrific acid attack when Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) tried to throw acid at Daisy, only for Ryan to heroically step in her way. Consequently, he sustained life-altering injuries, reports the Daily Star.
Recently, however, Ryan and his aunt Carla (Alison King) took a hiatus from the street to attend a family funeral in Ireland.
In Thursday’s episode (October 30), Carla returned to Weatherfield – but without Ryan. According to Carla, much to the disappointment of fans, Ryan will be staying in Ireland for a bit longer.
Earlier this year, actor Ryan jetted off to Vancouver with his Corrie co-star Mikey North, best known for his role as Gary Windass in Weatherfield.
Some viewers of the enduring programme might be unaware that Corrie enjoys popularity in the North American nation, with cast members occasionally hosting fan events after Canadian enthusiasts make the journey to Britain on a pilgrimage to the set at MediaCityUK in Trafford.
The most recent stars to venture across the Atlantic were Ryan and Mikey, with the former taking to social media to offer a peek at their adventure, which did manage to incorporate some tourist activities for the duo.
Accompanying his Instagram post, Ryan wrote: “Vancouver, thank you very much for having us. We loved every minute. #vancouver.”
Corrie colleague Claire Sweeney was swift to reply, commenting: “Fabulous,” whilst followers were equally eager to respond.
