He left Weatherfield when he was transported straight to the police station's doors ahead of doing a runner of the murder of Seb Franklin but Corey Brent may once again tread the cobbles. The actor who played him, Maximus Evans, reunited with his Coronation Street castmates over the weekend for the British Soap Awards.
And it was completely worth it as the soap star picked up a gong at the glitzy bash, which was hosted live by Phillip Schofield on ITV. He took home the silver award after beating off some stiff competition in the Villain of the Year category. He was applauded by the rest of the Corrie cast as he headed up to collect his award.
He sat alongside the likes of Millie Gibson, who was also a big winner on the night for her portrayal of Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, as well as former on-screen girlfriend Tanish Gorey. Maximus dedicated his award to his mum before mentioning his late Nan, saying he hoped she would be looking down on him.
