Coronation Street star Colson Smith has revealed he is ‘gutted’ to not feature in the soap’s big Christmas storyline.
The Craig Tinker actor has opened up about his disappointment about being snubbed from the festive episode.
However the Weatherfield star has confirmed he will be featuring in episodes leading up to Christmas – just not the main event.
Colson teased an exciting development on the cobbles in December with a major new storyline.
Asked about what the big story is, Colson wouldn’t be drawn.
But he teased: “It’s one of the storylines where when you hear it’s happening you hope you’re in it. I was gutted that I wasn’t in it.”
And he added that there’s more drama to come for Craig and Faye.
He told the Star: “Fans can expect more struggles for Craig and Faye.
