Departure On 17 November 2014, it was announced that Puleston-Davies had quit the show. Speaking of his departure, Puleston-Davies said "Next year I will have been playing Owen Armstrong for five years and it felt like a good point to move on and take some time to focus on new projects. "I have returned to my other passion of writing and in 2015 hope to put on a new play. I have had a fantastic time at Coronation Street and made some great friends. I certainly would never rule out returning to the role of Owen at some point in the future if I was asked." Reception Crawford said that Puleston-Davies had made a "big impact" since joining Coronation Street''. Cleaver described Owen as "a nasty piece of work" and "not the sort of man you want to cross".
