Now this is sad news. I was overjoyed when it was announced that Louis Emerick was joining Coronation Street, but this week we found out that he's leaving.
So soon? Well, Louis said on Twitter this week that he was only ever signed up for a three month stint on the show.
However, the door is being kept open for him, he says, which rules him out as Phelan's next victim, at least!
I do hope he'll come back. Liz seems happy having him around, which is great and there's definite chemistry between them.
