Scott Anson exits Coronation Street after three years

Scott Anson, who played Reece Bolton on ITV's Coronation Street since 2022, has confirmed his departure from the soap after filming his final scenes, which aired on April 23. Anson's character was initially introduced as part of a far-right extremist gang and became involved in major storylines with his daughter Lauren Bolton and Max Turner. In his last episode, Reece, now in prison, had an emotional confrontation with Lauren, during which he revealed he may not be her biological father, leading her to cut ties with him. Anson announced his exit on social media, thanking fans and marking the end of his time on the show. His departure comes amid a wave of exits from Coronation Street, including other notable cast members such as Charlotte Jordan, Sue Cleaver, Sue Devaney, and Colson Smith. The show's ongoing cast changes reflect a period of transition for the long-running British soap.
