Coronation Street viewers rage character ‘needs to go!’ after appalling behaviour is finally exposed
CORONATION Street fans fume it’s time for one character to leave Weatherfield for good after finally confessing to his crimes.
ITV viewers were left stunned as Ed Bailey (portrayed by Trevor Michael Georges) continued to gamble and betray his family.
Recent episodes have seen the Bailey family rocked by the news that Ed is still gambling.
Ed then resorted to using the company’s money to solve their money problems.
This seriously backfired as Ed was forced to tell his family he’s lost even more money and has nothing left.
The Bailey household came to blows as Ed broke down in tears and his family turned on him.
Despite his deceit, Dee-Dee asked her dad to please accept her help with his gambling addiction.
Ed agreed and said: “What did I do to deserve you?”
Can the Bailey’s sort out their money troubles before Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw) finds out?
However, viewers think Ed has had enough chances and
Taking to social media, one said: “Ed needs to go.”
Another wrote: “I used to think I was a kind, liberal and tolerant person, but this gambling story on #Corrie is absolutely horrific. Go straight to jail Ed, do not pass go!”
A third penned: “I know Ed is ill but my god he’s the most depressing character ever.”
Corrie spoilers have teases that bad boy Damon will return to the cobbles and will target Ed after learning about his money troubles.
Will a desperate Ed get into even more debt and danger as Damon takes advantage of his gambling addition?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
