Coronation Street star James Craven shares sadness as he exits soap after year as Aaron Sanford in tearful end to storyline

Coronation Street star James Craven has shared his sadness as he was seen bowing out of the ITV soap after a year. The actor joined last year as Summer Spellman's new love interest Aaron Sanford.

The pair enjoyed somewhat of a whirlwind romance having met at the diabetes support group after Summer, played by Harriet Bibby, was diagnosed with the condition. But things recently took a dark turn for Aaron as, following his split from Summer, the character sought solace in her best friend Amy Barlow.

However, back in March, Corrie viewers watched in horror as Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, was raped by Aaron, her best friend's boyfriend. The flatmates were seen bonding over drinking games after they both fell out with Summer Spellman.
