Coronation Street star admits what you didn’t see in key scene following show exit

EXCLUSIVE: Harry Lowbridge has recently departed from his role as the sinister Logan Radcliffe in Coronation Street.

Former Coronation Street star Harry Lowbridge has shared a behind-the-scenes secret just days after his final episode aired on the ITV soap.

Harry exited his role as Logan Radcliffe in Monday night’s (February 3) episode, where his dramatic final scenes showed him attacking David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). David had recorded Logan confessing to starting the fire that devastated the Platt house, leading to Logan’s arrest.

In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the 26-year-old actor reflected on his time on the show and revealed that his entrance had far more behind-the-scenes drama than what audiences witnessed on screen.

His character made his debut on the cobbles in a bright yellow sports car to confront his younger brother Mason (played by Luca Toolan), but Harry admitted that he doesn’t know how to drive, which posed a challenge.

“My first day on set was surreal—I was just in awe. But it was also my most embarrassing day because the first scene I had to film was with Luca, who played Mason,” he confessed.

“I was supposed to drive past him in this big yellow car, but I don’t even have a driving licence. The producers had no idea,” Harry admitted.

“The scene involved me passing Luca and giving him a menacing look. But just off-camera, there were six guys pushing the car from behind,” he laughed.

Harry also revealed that beyond the driving issue, he had very little time to prepare for the role, as his casting was confirmed just days before filming began.

“Honestly, I didn’t think I got the part. Filming was only a few days away, so I had pretty much forgotten about it. I wasn’t asked to send in a tape or anything—just did one audition.

“Then my agent called me and said, ‘You got it.’ And from there, everything just took off,” he shared.

“Whether a villain is loved or hated, I think either reaction means you’ve done your job well. After all, that’s the purpose of the role.

Some people do struggle to distinguish between the actor and the character, but that never really concerned me.

People often say, ‘You’re nothing like the character,’ but at the end of the day, it’s just a role. I wasn’t worried—I was too excited and eager to dive in.”
