Ryan Connor has become the latest victim of Coronation Street producer Phil 'cull' Collinson and has been axed from Coronation Street.
Just a day after Vicky Entwistle (Janice Battersby) announced her departure, it's been revealed that Ben Thompson who plays Ryan will quit the street in October.
New boss Collinson is said to have made the cut after deciding that there are too many teenage actors on the show. Viewers will see the 18 year old accept a university place in Scotland, while his mum Michelle remains on the street.
A source told The Sun: "Phil has made no secret of the fact he thinks Coronation Street has too many teenagers.
"He reckons it needs more 'real' characters like Eileen Grimshaw and is worried it's too much like Hollyoaks."
The source added: "By sending Ryan to Scotland, he leaves the door open for him to pop back."
Personally I think it's good the soap has a few teenagers in it in order to balance out the large number of old folks, though I don't think Ryan was the best character around. He did seem a little wooden to me. Nice haircut though.
