Coronation Street Star Alex Bain’s Heartfelt Farewell- ‘An Icon For So Many!’
Alex Bain, popular for playing Simon Barlow on Coronation Street just posted the sweetest message on social media to a former co-star after his farewell bash. Let us tell you that the actor’s exit was declared earlier this year. After portraying the character since 2008, the 22-year-old will say goodbye to the show very soon.
Since his departure’s announcement, the soap star has been pouring his heart out on Instagram. He is continuously sharing his love for Coronation Street and how much he’ll miss being in it. Back in Weatherfield, Simon and his mum, Leanne Battersby, are in the middle of a scary cult storyline.
More recently, Simon received a driving ban after getting into a car crash alongside Sam Bakeman. Now, he is worried about turning out like his dad. The youngster decides to change his ways in Coronation Street. Little does he know that his self-help classes are much darker than he can ever imagine.
The worst part is that neither he nor his stepmom have any clue. In the upcoming week, Leanne will try to persuade her fiancée Nick Tilsley and his son Sam to join a cult called ‘The Altovalent Institute.’ At the same time, she backs off from Simon’s new business plan.
The Coronation Street actor shared a snap from his assumed farewell part. A former star, Jack James Ryan (Jacob Hay), put up a picture on his IG story alongside Alex, Elle Mulvaney, and Harriet Bibby. He captioned, “15 years is no joke. An icon for so many and a brother of mine. We love u @alexbainofficial.”
