Coronation Street Fans Read Boyzone Reference as Hint of Keith Duffy Return

There is no official confirmation of any casting change.

Overview

  • Viewers picked up a Boyzone joke in a scene behind the Rovers and treated it as a nod to former cast member Keith Duffy.
  • Comments on a Coronation Street Facebook fan page urged a comeback for Ciaran McCarthy and called the line “foreshadowing.”
  • Keith Duffy previously played barman Ciaran from 2002 to 2005 and again from 2010 to 2011.
  • In a Loose Women interview earlier this year, Duffy said the character is “in the Caribbean” and added, “He could come back.”
  • Coverage also recalls he left to be closer to family and to pursue other work, and he joked that Boyzone tour plans could limit his availability.
