Corrie Star's Son, 31, Tragically Dies Before Christmas

Actress Debbie Rush, known for her role as Anna Windass on Coronation Street, is grieving the loss of her son, William, who passed away on December 17th at the age of 31. The timing of his death, just a week before Christmas, has left Rush and her family in a state of profound sadness, describing their grief as 'unimaginable' and their hearts as 'completely broken.'

William, who was also an actor with roles in shows like Waterloo Road and Grange Hill, followed in his mother's footsteps. In a touching final act, he chose to be an organ donor, providing a precious gift of life to other families. This news has prompted a wave of tributes from Rush's Coronation Street colleagues, including Catherine Tyldesley, Angela Griffin, and Jack P Shepherd, who have all shared their deepest sympathies.

William's acting career began at a young age, inspired by his school's headteacher. He appeared in Coronation Street in 2014 and later participated in The X Factor in 2016. His sister, Poppy, also an actress, has featured in Coronation Street alongside their mother and brother. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
