Sources say that while it was big decision to make, Adam is feeling confident and excited for the future. Insiders told The Sun: "He’s telling people he’s quit, not because he’s had enough of the show but his character hasn't had any decent storylines for ages. "He's had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he's made the right decision.
" Adam, who is just 24, joined the Manchester-based soap in April 2020. He took over the role of Aadi from Zennon Ditchett , who played Dev Alahan's son from 2009 to 2020. However, Adam has not had a proper storyline for quite some time - leaving both the actor and fans scratching their heads.
The star has only been making occasional appearances on the cobbles for the past year, and just last month he revealed he had been working on a movie away from the ITV show. Adam re-shared a photo of himself on set with a group of fellow actors, including Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter, who plays Leela Dexter on the E4 soap. The pair are starring in new movie called Spice for Life, with Adam playing character Sully.
Alongside the photo, Adam wrote: "Was great working with these lot."

Adam shared stills from the upcoming movie, which immediately got fans speculating that Aadi had left the cobbles. "Is that why you’re not on Corrie though?" asked one fan at the time.
