In shock scenes, Charlie De Melo has bowed out of Coronation Street as Imran Habeeb. The actor played the ITV soap character for almost five years and after weeks of scheming, his time was up.
This week, Corrie has been building up to a horror crash from Imran and his new wife Toyah. It comes as the pair battled Abi Webster for custody of baby Alfie. During Tuesday night’s episode, viewers saw newlyweds Imran and Toyah slumped unconscious in the wreckage of their car and immediately had questions about what had happened and who - if either of them - would survive.
Then during Wednesday night’s (June 1) aftermath, Imran was seen battling to get his car door open before wincing through the pain to grab his phone out of his pocket and call an ambulance. He begged them to hurry as his wife was unconscious and bits of the scaffolding continued to fall.
