Coronation Street fans are certain the soap is bringing back two legends following Craig Tinker’s tragic death. Craig (Colson Smith) had been a staple on the ITV soap since 2011 - making his
first appearance when he was just 12 years old. Since then, he became a firm favourite with the soap’s loyal legion of fans. The copper also had a part to play in big storylines too over
the years - from joining the police force to his slew of ill-fated romances on the cobbles. What’s more, he was left devastated too last year, when mum Beth (Lisa George) left Weatherfield
after 13 years. However, in January, actor Colson announced he was leaving the soap. In a statement, he revealed he was told he was getting the chop last Autumn and added: “I’ve LOVED every
single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the GREATEST street in the world.” And this week, Craig was brutally killed off in a heartbreaking twist. The beloved character ended up
dying after being attacked by the violent thug Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton). Craig was then rushed to the hospital and placed in intensive care, where it was revealed he had swelling on the
brain. As he was questioned about the attack, Craig's health started to rapidly deteriorate and he suffered a cardiac arrest. Sadly, after not responding to CPR, Craig was pronounced
dead. Now, following Craig’s death fans reckon two legends could be heading back for his funeral: mum Beth, and his ex-girlfriend Faye Windass (Ellie Leach). One person said on a Corrie
Facebook fan page: “So if Craig is going to die, will Beth come back in it?” Someone else added: “I thought this as well, surely she would have to attend his funeral?” A third person mused:
“Hope Faye comes back I know it’s been about 2 years, but I think she should be there for the funeral.” Another viewer suggested: “Maybe they will both turn up.” A fifth also wrote: “I hope
she makes an appearance, at least for the funeral.” Faye and Craig had an on-and-off romance for years, with Craig even proposing to her in 2023. Sadly, that same year, Faye said her
goodbyes and hasn’t been seen since. CORONATION STREET AIRS MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY AT 8PM ON ITV1 AND ITVX
