Marc Anwar who plays Sharif has been sacked with immediate effect following racist tweets.

This will cause a headache for writers as the affair was due to be revealed around Christmas. It's slightly reminiscent of the Ferreira debacle on EastEnders.

Let's hope Kate has some more axings in the pipeline if she's not too busy wooing back Curly.

Wow. I guess this means a quick wrap-up for Sharif's current storyline. Some shocking language used.

He's gotten what he deserved. No sympathy.

Wasn't expecting that! He deserved to be sacked. Won't miss his character either...

I wonder how they will wrap the storyline up, given how it was supposed to be taking centre stage (along with Toyah's return) at Christmas?

Will they air the scenes he has already filmed? Or will he have a Tommy Duckworth style departure?

No! I doubt Corrie will waste time filming an exit for someone they axed like this. He doesn't deserve an exit, I'm so disgusted by his behaviour

Don't forget the reminder about personal attacks on cast and crew.

I'm actually more shocked that his only 45 years old!!!!

Also, hopefully this means the rest of the family will leave too.

What an idiot. Also...he's only 45.

Normally Sharif's absence would barely be noticed but it's unfortunate for Corrie that just when he's given a big storyline he has to be abruptly written out.

What disgusting tweets, absolutely shameful.

And he won't be missed, pointless character with terrible storylines. Part of the reason I haven't been tuning in recently is because of the 7 year affair storyline.

I'm actually more shocked that his only 45 years old!!!!
Same here, he's playing a character about double his age

I think it's a mistake, according to this http://www.famousfix.com/topic/marc-anwar/wiki and other sources he's 55

Ha, yeah, that was the most shocking part of the article for me. Considering Yasmeen and Sharif recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary he must be playing a good 20 years older, at least!

Can he take the rest of the Nazirs with him? Whilst I don't mind them now, none of them add anything to the street. Maybe keep Zeedan...

Disgusting comments.

He deserves the sack. If Corrie didn't have a bizarre hang on to crap for years policy he would've been going anyway.

What an idiot. Also...he's only 45.
I was also shocked to read that.

Jimi Mistry, who played his son, is only two years younger. Another Sue Nicholls and Helen Worth situation.

I think the writers headache will be nothing compared to the actors one. Something must have happened to cause him to allegedly say what's reported.
