Speaking on the On The Sofa podcast (recorded prior to wrapping up on Corrie), the actor revealed who would be appearing alongside him in the last scene he filmed.
Colson shared to Ben Price and Jack P. Shepherd: “I’ve got a lot of dialogue in that last scene.
“It’s five-and-a-half pages. Just me and Dave Neilson back and forward over the counter.”
David Neilson, 76, has been playing the role of café owner Roy Cropper since 1995.
As soaps film out of order, however, this scene may not be the final time Craig appears on-screen.
The Sun exclusively revealed how his character was being killed off in a dramatic storyline – with Colson filming his final scenes last week.
A source told us: “Craig has grown up on the street and he’s become part of it so it was a tough decision to make but one that will be worth it.
“PC Tinker will meet his maker in heroic circumstances this summer and there won’t be a dry eye in the house when it goes out.
“Colson is taking it well and there’s a real feeling that this chapter is closing for him and there are bigger and brighter things ahead.”
Later, the star broke his silence and confirmed he had completed his time on the cobbles.
Street is killing off a beloved character
Posting a picture of himself sitting on the Rovers Return Inn set, Colson wrote: “CORONATION STREET I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU.”
The actor previously addressed his exit in an emotional statement earlier this year.
He wrote on Instagram: “Autumn last year I was told that Craig Tinker’s time on the Cobbles is to come to end in 2025.
“I’ve loved every single second of my 14 year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world.
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street.
“I’ve learned pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home.
“I’m excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is the end of the beginning.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
