Coronation Street has confirmed that Simon Barlow's final scenes will air next week.
The young character is bowing out from Weatherfield after accepting a new job offer, which will see him working on a yacht alongside his father Peter.
Simon recently accepted the opportunity, as he has been feeling directionless in life following Peter's departure and his recent struggles with alcohol.
Early next week, Simon's mum Leanne Battersby finally returns from The Institute's retreat, which involved cutting all contact with her family for over a week. She explains that she stayed an extra night, as her workshop overran.
When Simon informs Leanne that he's leaving to join Peter on the yacht, she complains that nobody consulted her about it first.
Leanne's partner Nick Tilsley clarifies that he asked Institute leader Rowan Cunliffe to pass the message on and he clearly didn't bother.
Refusing to hear a bad word said against Rowan, Leanne flies off the handle and accuses Nick of conspiring with her sister Toyah behind her back. Toyah has repeatedly expressed scepticism over The Institute in recent weeks.
Later, family and friends celebrate Simon with a leaving party at the Bistro.
Once Simon has gone, Leanne chats to someone on her laptop ? lamenting that she's alone following her son's departure.
Leanne tells her mystery contact that she wishes she could be with them, but who is she talking to? And will Simon's departure push Leanne even closer towards The Institute?
Alex Bain is bowing out from Coronation Street after 16 years playing Simon. The news was first revealed in December last year and was officially confirmed by Alex in March.
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, June 3.

Coronation Street's Toyah Battersby is arrested next week as her traumatic past is used against her in shocking scenes.
Toyah is stunned when new detective Kit Green orders her to the police station amid her ongoing feud with Rowan Cunliffe.
Recent episodes have seen Toyah grow concerned for her sister Leanne, who's being drawn in by Rowan and his Institute cult.
Next week, Bethany Platt offers Toyah some potentially useful information, letting her know about a journalist colleague who once tried to write an expos? about The Institute.
Bethany explains that her friend was met by a wall of silence when she tried to ask probing questions about the group's activities.
Later, Rowan calls at the flat to catch up with Leanne, and she warmly greets him with a hug.
Rowan shows Leanne that Toyah has written some negative online posts about The Institute. Leanne is furious that her sister won't let this go.
Toyah soon faces intimidation tactics as she receives a hand-delivered letter at the Bistro, informing her that The Institute is suing her for defamation. The group is also taking out an injunction to prevent Toyah from making further claims.
Leanne shows no sympathy, but her partner Nick Tilsley is concerned by her hardline stance, pointing out that Toyah is merely trying to protect her from an organisation that is clearly corrupt.
After dismissing Nick's claims, Leanne opens her laptop, smiles at someone on the screen and tells them that she loves them ? but who is it?
Later in the week, Toyah overhears Leanne having another chat via the laptop, once again telling her unknown contact that she loves them.
Toyah speculates that Leanne's connection to Rowan has taken a romantic turn, but she firmly denies that.
Toyah tells Nick what she overheard, and they head back home to confront Leanne. This time, they find her holding hands with Rowan on the sofa, but will she have an explanation for this intimate moment?
In another desperate plea, Toyah urges Leanne to see Rowan for the manipulative con artist he really is.
Their row is interrupted when Kit turns up to arrest Toyah for murder, as the body of a baby has been found buried in the park.
Toyah recently confided in Nick and Leanne about how she gave birth to a stillborn child at the age of 19 after Phil Simmonds raped her. She secretly buried the baby in the park and kept quiet about the trauma she'd suffered for years afterwards.
With the police now involved, who has exploited Toyah's tragic past by using it to make a false allegation?
Coronation Street airs these es on Wednesday, June 5, and Friday, June 7.
