IT CAME AS CORRIE STAR CAIT FITTON SHARED AN EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE FOLLOWING HER CO-STAR'S EXIT FROM THE LONG-RUNNING SHOW 10:03, 05 Mar 2025 Those behind Coronation Street's social
media were even feeling the emotions as Cait Fitton shared an emotional tribute following her co-star's exit from the long-running show. The actress, who plays Weatherfield's
Lauren Bolton, shared a moving public post about her colleague and friend Paddy Bever after he was seen bowing out of the ITV soap as Max Turner. 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 and he was eventually sentenced to six and a half years in prison. 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 . Article continues below "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.
