“Just had a wonderful evening seeing @CharlieDemelo in Alan Bennett’s fab new play, The Clothes They Stood Up In, at the Nottingham Playhouse. Get and see it if you can – we’ve never laughed so much at the theatre! (And Charlie was ace, of course!).”
Charlie left Weatherfield in June after being involved in heart-stopping stories for almost five years.
Solicitor Imran Habeeb was first introduced to ITV viewers in November, 2017, as he was seeking solace from his failing marriage to Sabeen.
His character was given a dramatic exit in car crash, amid his battle for his son Alfie against Abi Webster.

Imran has been involved in what appears to be the opposite of a redemption arc, shedding his heroic image to wear the mask of a villain.
Imran notably fought to clear Yasmeen Nazir’s name of attempted murder, as she tried to writhe her way out of her former abusive husband Geoff’s grasp.
When he fell to his death after a rooftop showdown, she was accused of his murder and Imran was right there to prove her innocence along with the abuse she had endured.
The actor later revealed he planned to leave in 2018, but rethought it when the pandemic struck.
