Coronation Street viewers may notice something different about Max Turner in the coming weeks.
That's because Max, currently looked after by David Platt with Max's half-sister, Lily, is being re-cast. Actor Harry McDermott, 16, is stepping away from the cobbles after 11 years.
Max is the son of former character Kylie, played by Paula Lane, who married David Platt but was later murdered by Clayton Hibbs in 2016. Max's onscreen dad, Callum Logan, is also dead, after she was killed by Kylie after attacking Sarah Platt in 2015.

Harry will be replaced by Paddy Bever, Metro reports, and the new Max has already filmed some scenes which will be screened later this month.
Max, who has ADHD, is tipped for a big Autumn storyline on the long-running ITV soap.
Max is not the first Coronation Street character to be recast. When Matilda Freeman decided to leave, her character, Summer Spellman, continued, now played by Harriet Bibby. Teenager Adam Hussain also took over as Aadi Alahan, after Zennon Ditchett quit Corrie, MEN reports.
