EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick defends rival soap Coronation Street amid cast departures


EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has come to the defence of rival soap Coronation Street amid recent cast exits and rumours of a 'revolt.'

Other names set to leave in the coming months include Colson Smith’s Craig Tinker, Charlotte Jordan as barmaid Daisy Midgeley, and Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster. Last week, reports seemed to confirm that Paddy Bever would also be leaving the soap, three years after taking the role of Max Turner. Meanwhile, Shelley King is also believed to have already filmed her final scenes on the soap – marking the departure of Yasmeen Metcalfe, too.
