The Lauren Bolton actress shared the public post about her colleague and friend
Coronation Street star Cait Fitton is marking the ‘end of an era’ as she said ‘goodbye’ to her co-star following his on-screen exit. The actress shared the public post about her colleague and friend Paddy Bever.
It hasn’t been a secret that the actor would be bowing out of the ITV soap after he confirmed he would be leaving the role of Max Turner after three years back at the start of the year.
Paddy was part of a recast of the role of Kylie Platt’s son and David Platt’s stepson back in 2021. Harry McDermott originally played the role from 2010 and when he left to continue with his acting studies and explore other opportunities, it was Paddy who took over.
The teenage character faced his fair share of drama in a few short years and during Monday night’s (March 3) Corrie, viewers saw Max sentenced for starting the fire that saw the Platts’ beloved family home destroyed, in a botched insurance job, thinking it’d help his family be safe from gangster Harvey Gaskell.
The police soon discovered the truth and during Monday’s (March 3) episode of Corrie. Max was in court to receive his sentence, with David, Shona Platt and Lauren Bolton all sat in the court also waiting for the news.
The judge took into account Max’s apparent remorse and guilty plea but with that alongside his premeditated actions and suspended sentence didn’t bode well for the teen.
He was left shocked by the outcome, as he was told he’d serves six and a half years. Plans were then made to transfer Max to a prison in County Durham the following day with his loved ones desperate to keep him safe amid the ongoing threats from dangerous Harvey.
Following Paddy’s exit scenes as Max, Cait took to Instagram on Tuesday (March 4) with emotional goodbye message to her former co-star. She shared a compilation video made by a fan of Max and Lauren’s time together, alongside the caption: “Team Lax. What a journey it’s been …..
“Coming into this, I never thought I’d be lucky enough to be paired with someone so hard working and so dedicated. @paddybever you amaze me. Thank you for the lifelong lessons you have taught me , for being my rock and my partner in crime throughout my journey so far and for being the most caring , talented and gorgeous soul you are .
“I find myself unable to put our journey together into words so instead I post this amazing edit made by the talented @laxforever_. Look at the journey we have had and the memories we have made.”
She rounded off by saying: “For now it’s goodbye to Max on the cobbles , but I wish you so much love and luck for your future and I’m so excited for the opportunities that are to come your way! I love you Beves [red heart emoji].” Paddy then responded: “Oh Cait,” with a red heart emoji.
Corrie’s own social media team also commented on the post: “We’re not crying, you are.” And fans were also left emotional by the sweet tribute.
