Noah’s Shocking End

Coronation Street has bid farewell to Richard Winsor, who confirmed his final scenes as Noah Hedley have already aired. Fans speculated that Noah’s off-screen death might be a red herring, but Winsor has now made it clear—there’s no twist.

Introduced back in May, Noah’s arrival immediately stirred up drama when his past with Theo Silverton was exposed. Theo revealed that Noah had subjected him to conversion therapy years earlier, sparking a bitter and complicated feud that has only grown darker in recent weeks.

The Courtroom Showdown

In Monday’s episode (September 22), tensions reached breaking point as Theo faced court to determine whether he’d retain access to his children. With Noah lurking in the public gallery and goading Todd Grimshaw, emotions ran high.

Later, Theo and Todd celebrated Theo’s small victory at the Bistro, only for Noah to crash the moment with Danielle, Theo’s ex-wife. His cruel homophobic remarks escalated the confrontation until Theo disowned him outright: “You’re nothing to me.”

The Final Blow

The bitter scene took a shocking turn when Danielle stormed back into the restaurant in tears. She accused Theo of harming Noah—before revealing he had suffered a fatal heart attack. Though Theo insisted he had nothing to do with Noah’s death, he later admitted to Todd that Noah had once been more than just a tormentor. “He wasn’t always the bad guy,” Theo reflected. “He was my friend. Maybe the best friend I ever had. I loved him.”

Despite the emotional twist, Winsor has confirmed that Noah’s death is genuine, closing the book on one of Weatherfield’s most unsettling characters.

Richard Winsor Says Goodbye

Taking to Instagram, the former Casualty star shared photos outside the iconic Rovers Return and alongside co-stars Gareth Pierce and James Cartwright.

“Bye bye Noah, you creepy f**ker!!” he wrote. “Was an absolute pleasure being on the cobbles and working with @garpierce @danielbrocklebank, James Cartwright and the entire @coronationstreet team!”

Fans quickly filled the comments with praise:

• “You done a phenomenal job with the character Noah,” wrote one viewer.

• “Too little time there—we will miss you a lot,” added another.

• “He was an absolute horror of a human and you played him superbly,” one fan summed up.

What’s Next for Winsor

Though Noah’s time in Weatherfield was brief, Winsor made a lasting impression. His chilling portrayal sparked conversation around faith, family, and identity, making his character one of Corrie’s most divisive newcomers of the year. Fans now eagerly await what the actor will tackle next.
