Coronation Street’s Hollywood star exits soap just weeks after debut episodes
CORONATION Street’s Hollywood star Robin Morrissey has left the soap, just weeks after joining.
Robin, who played LA-based Felix, was part of storyline that involved a romance with Summer.
Felix turned up on the Street when he accompanied Summer on a surprise visit back home to see her family.
The Weatherfield lass has been across the pond studying in the States.
But after bringing him back to England, in a forthcoming episode viewers will watch him leave her after he overhears something from her family.
Much like his character, Robin has also spent a lot of time in Tinseltown himself after appearing in blockbuster Cloud Atlas.
He starred alongside Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant and Halle Berry in the film – which was his first professional acting job.
Since then he has appeared in a number of TV and film roles throughout his career.
He is perhaps best known to soap fans for his role as Will Hurran, the nephew of established character Jimmi Clay.
Robin’s character had a number of huge storylines during his role on the soap including a storyline in which his character emotionally revealed that he was secretly gay.
Liverpool-born actor Robin has also appeared in both seasons of hit ITV police drama The Tower.
He plays a character named Sgt. Fred Thompson.
His other TV roles include a regular in Award-winning four-part series Apple Tree Yard and Little Crackers.
