    The sad part is he probably won't even get an on screen exit. Ken didn't when William Roache was accused.

    They were both suspended ... I like to think Bruno is also just suspended and able to return should he get cleared of the charges ...

    This will cause the show a huge headache. I will miss the character of Todd and the show will miss the actor. I am not commenting on the allegations as we do not know what has occurred.

    Yep.. the actor who plays Todd has left the show.

    Not the first show to dissociate with an actor in the process of legal events.

    I can see both sides, but isnt are law innocent till proven guilty?

    Scott from Emerdale went the same way, mind you Ken and Kevin came back!

    Whatever the outcome of the investigation into Bruno Langley's behaviour and the rights and wrongs of his remaining with Corrie as an actor, I don't think we should forget that the character, Todd, was a participant in fleecing people in the Street of thousands of pounds as well as knowing what Adam did to Underworld without telling the truth. He has adversely affected the lives of many people in Corrie and is not, in spite of how he comes across, especially with Summer, a very nice person. The character should get its comeuppance, whatever happens to Bruno.

    Coronation Street will have to rewrite storylines to explain Todd Grimshaw's absence following Bruno Langley being dropped by the soap.

    It was confirmed this weekend that Coronation Street had parted ways with the actor, with a representative confirming that Bruno is no longer contracted to the show.

    In past cases of an actor being let go from a soap, their character is usually abruptly written off-screen, as we saw with the departures of Marc Anwar and Chris Fountain, however Digital Spy understands that in Bruno's case the character's already-filmed scenes will air as planned, with Todd's final appearance expected to be on Christmas Eve.

    It's understood that Bruno was working on the soap's Christmas storyline when Coronation Street initially launched an inquiry into the actor, at which point Bruno stopped filming new scenes.

    Following Bruno's departure, any storyline that Todd Grimshaw was involved in is likely to be rewritten to account for his absence – and as soaps tend to write their storylines months in advance, that means scripts for episodes going into the first few months of next year will need reworking.

    Bruno himself confirmed he'd parted ways with the soap in a statement released to Digital Spy today (October 29).

    "Sadly, I will no longer be working on Coronation Street. Acting on the show has been the fulfilment of a personal dream," the statement read.

    "Playing the role of Todd Grimshaw since I was 17 years old has been a huge part of my life, and an absolute honour. I would like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.

    "I will make a further statement in due course, and when I am able to do so."

    The inquiry followed recent reports that the actor is facing an allegation of sexual assault against a woman in a nightclub, and a source for the soap told us that their inquiry was independent to any police investigation. Langley has denied the claims.

    Although life has carried on much as before for the residents of Coronation Street .... still able to sit in Rovers or the Bistro or have breakfast in Roy's Rolls instead of at home ...
