It doesn't surprise me. They have hardly done anything with him, even he and Maria rarely have any screen time together since getting together a year ago. What a pointless story.
Yet another potential male character lost. |

Noooooo, I like Marcus.
![]() And who's going to be on hand to expertly handle every medical emergency known to man, both on the Street and in Weatherfield General if he goes?

The problem is poor "Marcus" has hardly been given any storylines. I thought they were going to do a storyline where Maria became pregnant, but alas now that Charlie is leaving that will not be happening. Sad to hear you are leaving, Charlie. Looks like with Hayley Tina, Peter(I think) and Marcus all departing there are going to be quite a few gaps to be filled. |

The problem Charlie had was that they saddled up with Maria right at the time she started her Dancing On Ice venture which meant she was never in the show.
The pair of them have had two storylines this year that I can think of. The ridiculous invite to Marcus & Sean's gay friend's wedding reception which was held at the Bistro and Maria's father in law (Barry) coming to stay for a few days, Samia must be laughing all the way to the bank. Lord knows what the locals will do now when they need any medical advice. |

He was a bit of a spare part anyway, the Maria storyline sort of confirmed this for me. Once they got together we rarely had any real scenes or plot lines. Its been a bit of a waste!
With Marcus inevitably being swooned by Todd, it begs the question where next for Maria? Shes increasingly becoming a spare part also... over the last few years we've seen the rise of Tyrone, Fizz, even Kirk, whilst Maria slips further away - hopefully shes got a big storyline coming her way after Marcus leaves the cobbles. Liam with an illness maybe, or ADHD? Something that would thrust Maria back into the street and into the public's attention! |

Corrie had a real chance with the character of Marcus to depict a believable 21st century gay man to eradicate memories of the ghastly and offensive Sean, who's set back gay rights by 30 years. But they've squandered it. Charlie Condou is such a good actor - with an impressive CV before he joined Corrie - that I'm sure he'll do well afterwards. He deserves to.

Aww i Liked Marcus ,but not surprised he's quit ,as since they put him together with Maria he's just become a filler character with Zilch to do

Marcus was a nice, down to earth and caring bloke, how could he have possbly survived in this street?
I wonder did Sean being there still have anything to do with it

A pity about Charlie leaving, even though Marcus and Maria were dull and unconvincing. If only Anthony Cotton had gone instead! |

Whenever these announcements are made it's always made to sound like the character will be off screen next week!
Marcus will be on screen for about another 7 or 8 months by the sound of it! |

I doubt shes going anywhere though - The actress wont quit as she will never work again and producers wont axe a character thats been there for 13 years unfortunately |

Awww that`s awful, I love Marcus.
It wouldn`t surprise me if Cotton had something to do with it after a spat they had on Twitter a while back. Knowing how spiteful Cotton is, I can just see Cotton whining to the bosses that Charlie disrespected him. |
