Coronation Street's Gary Windass will be waving goodbye to Weatherfield later this year when he agrees to take on a job overseas.
We've already revealed that Gary will be tempted by a life-changing opportunity this week after one of his old army friends offers him a chance to work on his private security firm over in the Ukraine.
With no more information to hand, fans were left wondering if this latest twist was building up to Gary's exit storyline. But it's now been confirmed that while Gary will be taking the job, it won't be the last we see of him.
Instead, it turns out that this is all part of a dramatic new storyline for Gary that looks set to change his life forever.
"Gary has got a lot coming up," Mikey North – who plays him – told Inside Soap. "He's going to take the private security job in the Ukraine, which will come between him and his family as it's so dangerous.
"In fact, I think it's just as high-risk as being in the army, and it will change Gary's world forever."
But while Gary's new job looks set to put huge strain on his relationship with his loved ones, Mikey is hoping that it doesn't spell the end for his romance with Sarah Platt.
"I love them together," Mikey said. "Their relationship has given me a new lease of life on the show. I enjoy working with Tina [O'Brien], and I think our characters go well together.
"I'm really enjoying it, and it's also great to film with such a well-established family as the Platts."
