'Coronation Street' Tommy Duckworth to leave
Coronation Street 'bad boy' Tommy Duckworth will leave at the end of the year - reports have claimed today.
Tommy - Played by Chris Fountain - joined the show in March 2011. He tried to win the heart of resident hottie, Tina McIntyre, but miserably failed many times. Tommy will be written out of the show in the next few weeks and will leave in Spring 2012. It has also been reported that Chris Fountain did actually quit the show, as he felt Tommy was going nowhere.
Executive producer, Jess has commented on Tommy's shock exit: "We're all very upset to hear that Chris wants to leave the show, he's been a great member of our cast and is loved by many on the set. Chris quit because he thinks Tommy is going nowhere, but we have promised him new storylines, but Chris rejected our offer and decided the time was right to leave."
Corrie producers are not yet revealing his reason of exit, but it is thought Tommy may possibly die in a shock Easter stoyline.
