Who else has played Ryan Connor in Coronation Street?

Ryan Prescott is the third person to play Michelle Connor's non-biological son.

When the character was first introduced in 2006, the role was played by Ben Thompson for four years until Ryan departed the cobbles for university.

Sol Heras was then recast as Ryan for a one-year stint in 2012, before the character set off for Ibiza to become a DJ.

Despite not sticking around for long, Sol certainly made his mark on the character as, during that time, Ryan was involved in a dark storyline in which he got Sophie Webster hooked on drugs.
