Carter-J Murphy has been cast as Harry Platt, the son of Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien).
Speaking to reporters about the change, actor Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, said: “They’ve just changed the role of the guy who plays Harry.
“Carter is very, very confident.”
The new star will make his screen debut this week.
Young actor Carter succeeds twins Freddie and Isaac Rhodes in the role of Harry.
The couple played the character from 2017 onwards.
Harry was born in 2016 after Sara’s relationship with villain Callum Logan (Sean Ward).
Callum was killed by Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) before Harry was born.
The villain’s body was then hidden under annex no. 8.
Meanwhile, Carter recently appeared in Better Man, playing a young Robbie Williams.
The makeover comes amid big changes for the Platts – with matriarch Gail set to leave the cobbles soon.
Actress Helen Worth left the soap earlier this year, after 50 years playing her iconic character.

She said in a statement at the time: “This year seemed like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.
“I made the decision at the beginning of the year and talked to the producers who were very kind and understanding.
“I have been truly blessed to receive the most amazing scripts week after week and to work with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew.
“The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I’m leaving has been fully understood yet.”
Soap bosses have brought back John Thomson as Jesse Chadwick for Gail’s exit storyline.
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
