Coronation Street’s George Banks looks worlds away from soap character Henry as he reunites with co-stars
CORRIE star George Banks has reunited with former co-stars Georgia Taylor and Charlie De Melo.
The actor, best known for his portrayal of Henry Newton, enjoyed a meal with his former Coronation Street colleagues.
George, Georgia and Charlie met up to visit a show with the host of Conversationstreet podcast, Michael.
The stars could be seen crowded around a table littered with drinks and bread baskets.
George, who played the Netwon & Ridley heir, looked very different to his time on the show, where his character wooed Gemma Winter.
The star has shedded his facial hair, exposing a fresh face underneath to compliment his locks that appear to be a shade lighter.
Happy couple Georgia and Charlie beamed for the camera, with the Toyah Battersby actress sporting blonde locks, different to the brunette colour she rocked when she first returned to the cobbles in 2016.
In the snap, the Imran Habeeb actor could be seen holding up a flyer for Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap, advertising the 70th anniversary edition of the show, where George will depict Giles Ralston.
Georgia wrote in the caption: “Gorgeous evening catching our lovely friend George Banks being utterly brilliant in @mousetraplondon.”
The star then quipped “#bringbackhenry”.
Also shared to the Conversationstreet Instagram, podcast host Michael gushed in the caption: “What an evening!
“Met up with Georgia and Charlie to go and watch The Mousetrap, which we’d always been curious to see.
“And what better time to go than when it’s starring the fabulous George Banks? Great show followed by great food, with great company.”
George announced his departure from the show in 2018, with co-star Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, dubbing him one of the “loveliest” actors.
She said at the time: “Wishing one of the loveliest actors I know lots of love and luck for the future , a true gent and a fab actor!”
The Sun exclusively revealed how Charlie had decided to quit his role in 2022, with Georgia confirming it.
She told The Sun and other press about her feelings toward his departure, stating:“Heartbroken. I absolutely adore him.”
The on-screen couple reportedly started dating earlier this year.
