An ITV Coronation Street star reckons the soap could be axed in a decade thanks to the rise of streaming services.
Charlie Lawson, who played Jim McDonald in the show, also claimed that viewing figures could have dropped as fans are getting "fed up" with the storylines on the soap. Charlie, 63, played the notorious criminal from 1989 until 2000 and has made brief cameos since he left the famous Manchester cobbles - but he believes time could be up.
The Irish actor, who is no stranger when it comes to sharing his views, said: "I was there in the 90s for 11 years and we were getting between 16 and 20 million – and 5 million (viewers now) is not a lot. In 10 years who knows if we will have a Coronation Street, we're all changing our viewing habits as it is already."
