Coronation Street’s Bill Fellows teases ‘life-changing’ twist from Stu Carpenter’s past
THINGS are about to come to a head for Stu Carpenter with his past set to be exposed.
Coronation Street star Bill Fellows teased that revelations about his character could shock many viewers – as they did him.
Many secrets are kept in the cobbles and Stu Carpenter isn’t one to go against tradition.
Since his first appearance in Weatherfield in October, 2021, the former homeless man has kept his past closed off, even to the many friends he has made throughout the months.
Off-screen, however, actor Bill Fellows knew his alter ego’s past would, one day, be explored further.
“There was always a possibility”, he told The Sun and other press.

Corrie boss Ian MacLeod eventually made it known that Stu’s past involved an “unexpected” and “life-changing” twist.
“The producer told me what my past was and I said ‘woah’ and we talked about things”, Bill added.
“He’s flawed and something is in his past that people may disapprove of.”
“It was unexpected, it’s at a life-changing level. His past was much bigger than I’d imagined.”
