An exit has been teased for Coronation Street's Ryan Connor - as he's forced to choose between Alya and his dream job.
Ryan's had a tough few years on the Cobbles so far. Last year, the bartender, played by Ryan Prescott, risked jail after participating in an insurance scam with Debbie Webster. He had helped to stage the robbery and use the money he'd be paid by Debbie to allow him to return back to Ibiza and buy a share in a business there and live out his dreams.
However, he ended up being caught and faced a lengthy jail sentence, before the judge handed him community service instead.
Things got even worse recently as he faced death when a pair of armed robbers broke into the Bistro looking for the drugs that Damon had stashed there. Ryan was completely unaware about the reason for the robbery, but it understandably left him horrified as the gun was waved in his face as the two men made their demands.
Following the incident, Ryan broke down in front of Leanne as he explained his dream to head away.
Confiding in her, he explained that he felt he was going to die when the gun was pulled on him, but didn't see his life flash before his eyes as most do because he didn't feel he had a life worth of that.
Emotional, he explained that he had so many big plans for his life but didn't want to die just 10 minutes from where he was born.
Ryan panicked about his life as he explained his dream of heading to Ibiza, but he ended up working in the same place he grew up, whilst Leanne tried to reassure him that he was most valued at his workplace.
However, he quickly reminded her of what he'd done with Debbie, but Leanne assured him people liked him working there.
Things are set to turn next week when Ryan sees a chance to make his Ibiza dream coming true. A woman called Crystal appears in the Bistro and hands a business card to Ryan, giving him a chance to follow his DJ dream. Ryan confides in Nick about Crystal and the offer she's given him but Nick advises him to think carefully about which is more important to him, heading to DJ or Alya.
What will he choose - and if he chooses Ibiza, is his exit looming?
