James Craven confirms Corrie exit

James Craven has confirmed his exit from 'Coronation Street'.

The actor has been involved in a harrowing storyline on the ITV soap after his alter-ego Aaron Sandford raped Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) when she fell asleep beside him.

And, now James has revealed that has left the show.

Speaking after his departure, James explained: "Aaron will always care about Amy and whether he did it or not he was already starting to feel responsible for putting her through all of this in the first place, because he's the one who took out the court case.

"He definitely feels like it's all slipped way out of his control. Also since his dad has come back into the picture he’s felt a tremendous amount of guilt about that too because he's not had money in the past and suddenly it was all going on this court case that Aaron was starting to think he might be fighting a losing battle with."

Speaking about his time on 'Corrie', the young actor added: "It’s obviously very sad, it's been a lot of fun and I’ve really, really loved my time there. I met so many great people and I've made so many good friends for life.

"But I'm excited, I'm really, really excited to get on and go on and do other things.

"I do feel very proud, from the beginning I knew how much work I was going to put into it and I knew how much work everyone at 'Corrie' has put into it.

"As soon as we got started I knew it was going to be a really positive storyline in the long run so it’s something that I feel very proud of.

"It’s something that I hope the fans have enjoyed and more than anything have started to think about."
