Yahoo News Corrie is replacing Todd Grimshaw with newcomer Imran
Coronation Street newcomer Imran Habeeb is becoming a regular character on the series – and he's taking Todd Grimshaw's place at the law firm Todd set up with Adam Barlow.
Todd is being written out of the ITV soap by going on the run after hitting a police officer in an off-screen altercation.
Actor Bruno Langley, who has played the role on and off since 2001, was was sacked after he was accused and then convicted of sexually assaulting two women.
In an interview with The Mirror, Imran actor Charlie de Melo revealed that his character is able to help Adam out at the solicitor's company.
"Adam's doing two people's jobs so here comes a guy who's able to take the load off," he said.
"So it's all fairly painless actually. But then when you get the two of them in an enclosed space there's a fair amount of self-belief between the two of them. They are both ego-driven to a point and, quite rightly so to do the work they do."
So, just in case you thought everything would be smooth sailing for Adam and Imran, that's not always going to be the case.
"They both think that they are right and the most capable in the room – it's not a very big room, so they're liable to butt heads a little bit," added de Melo.
"I think, with the impression that I'm given, they're both fond of each other too. They have a friendly competition with one another."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
