“Anyway, I’ll keep you updated. They put a wristband on me and all sorts of craic,” he said.<\/p>\n

The hospital visit comes after Lawson experienced two falls, prompting his physiotherapist to take immediate action.<\/p>\n

The hospital dash comes amid a difficult period for the actor, who recently opened up about his financial struggles.<\/p>\n

Lawson revealed that 2024 has been his “most unsuccessful year” in his 44-year career.<\/p>\n

“I’m in the living room with my shooting gear on because I’m a field sportsman and because I can’t have the heat on all day and it’s Baltic over here,” he admitted.<\/p>\n

The actor explained he and his partner Debbie have had to make adjustments to their lifestyle.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t been abroad this year, we don’t eat in The Ivy when we go back to Belfast. You cut your cloth,” he said.<\/p>\n

Lawson noted they were managing with two incomes, adding: “There are a lot of people worse off than me.”<\/p>\n

Since leaving Coronation Street, Lawson has been critical of the long-running soap. He admitted he no longer watches the programme, describing it as “a different animal now.”<\/p>\n

“It’s issue driven now as opposed to when I was there in the 90’s, it was character driven,” he explained.<\/p>\n

The actor made a bold prediction about the future of British soaps.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think Corrie will be around in 10 years time. I don’t think it’s going to be having a 94th birthday because television is fundamentally different,” Lawson said.<\/p>\n

He extended this forecast to other popular soaps as well, stating: “I also think EastEnders days are numbered and Emmerdale’s days are numbered because of the ratings.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street legend Charlie Lawson has been rushed to hospital after falling twice, with his physiotherapist sending him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,4781,77,208,12,512,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-80695","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-itv","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-sgg","14":"tag-tv","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114464167582346415","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
