Corrie star 'quits' after four years as character gears up to leave Weatherfield

Coronation Street's Michael Bailey could be moving to London after being offered a great job offer.

The son of Ed and Aggie, played by Ryan Russell, previously used Carla Connor's factory to get his side business started with Sarah Platt and Stephen Reid.

After Carla found out what they were using her space for, the workers ended up signing a huge deal.

Next week on Corrie, killer Stephen is pleased to hear that the Gazette is producing a piece on the Nippersnapper deal.

Ronnie Bailey, played by Vinta Morgan, said Michael deserved some recognition for his hard work.

Michael was hoping to join Stephen's meeting with Rufus Donahue (played by Steven Meo), but Stephen isn't too keen.

Rufus changed his mind and said that 25% of the profits isn't enough and said he wants 50% instead.

After the meeting, Michael ends up bumping into Rufus in the street.

Rufus asks Michael if he wants to uproot his life and move to London to work with him.

Stephen soon agrees to Rufus' new demand and starts the interview with Gazette reporter Suki.

Michael is disappointed to be left out yet again, leaves and seemingly makes up his mind about his future.

He tells Stephen about his upcoming meeting with Rufus and reveals he's been offered a better deal.

Does this mean the end of Ryan on Coronation Street or will something (or someone) get in the way?

Meanwhile, Stephen first killed a character in September last year when he murdered Leo Thompkins, who had discovered his money lies.

Just months later, Stephen struck again in January when he murdered Leo's dad Teddy over his suspicions about Leo's disappearance.

In upcoming scenes, Stephen will kill again and there are a number of characters who could meet a grisly end.

Stephen's colleague Michael, who helped work on the designs that secured them the big money contract, could be a possible third victim.

Michael becomes suspicious of Stephen when he uncovers his lies about the American company pulling out of their deal.

He soon confronts the villain about his lies and tries to get the client back on side, but will it lead to Stephen wanting him out the way?
