Coronation Street fans fear another long-time cast member has been axed after Liam McCheyne shared a cryptic message online. McCheyne, who has played Dylan Wilson for 14 years, posted a quote about “letting go” and “accepting things the way they are.” This has led many to believe his time on the cobbles may be coming to an end. Is this true?
Liam McCheyne‘s message read, “Sometimes you need to let go and accept things the way they are, and not the way you wished they could be. Some parts of your journey are only supposed to be temporary. Maybe this is part of your journey to teach you a lesson, to teach you that you deserve more, to encourage you to grow.”
Though he didn’t clarify what the post meant, fans immediately speculated that he could be hinting at his departure, especially given the major changes happening at Coronation Street. The post comes shortly after his character, Dylan Wilson was sentenced to time in a Secure Training Centre—and maybe that’s the reason behind high speculations.
Dylan’s Storyline
Dylan Wilson’s storyline recently took a dark turn when a court sentenced him for his involvement in Mason Radcliffe’s tragic death. Dylan had purchased a zombie knife as he believed he needed it for protection. However, Mason’s brothers, Logan and Matty Radcliffe, later used it to fatally stab their younger brother at Weathersfield Precinct. This week, Dylan learned his fate—as the judge sentenced him to serve time in an STC.
Despite concerns over McCheyne’s cryptic post, reports suggest that Dylan’s sentencing will not mark the end of his character. Instead, the storyline will continue and focus on Dylan’s struggle to survive in the STC. There, he will be locked up with dangerous offenders. The timing has fueled fan speculation even more. McCheyne’s cryptic message arrives amid ITV’s decision to cut Coronation Street’s episodes from six to five per week. The move has led to widespread job losses across both Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
As per the reports, as many as 75 people are expected to lose their jobs. With so many high-profile exits, insiders claim that more cast members are considering leaving before they’re pushed out. Is Dylan being pushed out, too? Only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal the rest. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
