manchestereveningnews.co.ukThere were emotional scenes on Coronation Street on Wednesday night (July 19) as a key character made their exit from the ITV soap.
Spider Nugent said goodbye to his girlfriend Toyah Habeeb and left to take up another job - having chosen his career as a policeman over staying in Weatherfield.
