Coronation Street residents learn a character will face six years in
prison after being sentenced next week on the ITV soap. Sarah Platt will receive shocking news about her lover Damon Hay, weeks on from his abrupt exit from the show. Damon was arrested by armed
police recently, before Sarah visited him in prison. While she was there he cruelly dumped her and told her they were over, with him facing a stint behind bars. It was revealed after the episode that these were Damon's final scenes on the show, with
Actor Ciaran Griffiths quitting his Weatherfield role. Now, new spoilers confirm the future for Damon, as he is sentenced offscreen. Sarah is told that Damon will face six years behind bars in an episode next week, leaving her
BREAKING down in tears. She seeks comfort in her ex Gary Windass amid his own troubles with partner Maria Connor. Sarah reveals Damon's fate to Gary after finding out from his lawyer Dee-Dee Bailey. It seems this is the end for Damon, for now, while it's also thought to be the end of his brother Harvey Gaskell's latest stint on the show, after Will Mellor reprised the role recently. During Friday's episode of the ITV soap, Damon asked Sarah to visit him in prison and decided he needed to end it with her.

I’m doing you a massive favour. You turned my world upside down but if I loved you, properly loved you, I wouldn’t have done the stuff I’ve done. You’ve got to walk away. I’m sorry, it’s my decision. Goodbye Sarah." Whilst it seems that's not really true, and he is in fact still very much in love with her, he knew that the only way to protect her was for him to end up in jail and for him to cut ties with her for good to keep her and her family safe. Damon's time on the show has come to a natural end, but the door has been left open for the character to return one day. His most recent stint marks his second time on the show after he returned recently to get his revenge on Adam Barlow and win Sarah back. Ciaran has seemingly teased a potential return again one day, as the writers have brought him back twice already. Asked why he thought the writers kept bringing him back, he added: "I think there’s a lot of mileage to him still, you want to see what happens with him and Sarah, you want to see what happens with him and Adam, especially after Adam did the dirty on him last time and forced him to do a runner. It will be interesting to see how that one plays out. "It's also interesting to find out if he is going to keep up this good behaviour or if he’s going to crack and give in to the temptations of his past. He visits his half brother Harvey, who he hasn’t seen for years, last time Damon was on the street he had Harvey beaten up in prison, so there’s definitely mileage there to see will he get drawn in by Harvey’s criminal life again." Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat ,
