Coronation Street viewers have reached the end of their tether with this character after his shocking behaviours was revealed. 

In the latest instalment of Coronation Street (which aired Friday 29th December 2023) viewers saw Ed have a complete meltdown as he poured out his heart to Todd Grimshaw, after chasing his gambling losses and going into a financial spiral. 

'Ed needs to go too,' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

While another said, 'Dee Dee, Ed and Bobby all to be murdered please Coronation Street.'

While another said, 'I used to think I was a kind, liberal and tolerant person, but this gambling story on #Corrie is absolutely horrific. Go straight to jail Ed, do not pass go!'

And another commented, 'Last night I thought Bobby was funny but tonight he’s unbearable and I know Ed is Ill but my god he’s the most depressing character ever.'

While another Corrie fan commented on Aggie, Ed's wife who currently knows nothing about his gambling addiction, 'Hopefully Aggie will be back on the street in a heartbeat once she finds out about Ed's gambling relapse.'

While others commented that they find the story itself boring, writing, 'Who on earth on the production team thought Ed’s gambling story would be enthralling to the viewers?'

To which another fan replied, 'The whole family, minus Dee Dee, are appalling and like watching paint dry.'

And another said, 'Boring doesn't even cover it.'
