Andy Whyment denies cast unrest on Coronation Street amid changes

Andy Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland on Coronation Street, has denied rumors of unrest among the cast. He stated on Instagram that the show is not in crisis and urged fans not to believe everything they read. The speculation arose after news of several cast members leaving the show in 2025, including Helen Worth, who has been with the series for 50 years. Other actors are also taking breaks, but some are expected to return. Despite recent changes and a dip in viewership, Whyment and his co-stars expressed their support for each other, emphasizing their strong bond as a cast and crew.
