Logan arrived on the Street as one of the menacing brothers of Mason Radcliffe - who eventually died following a period of sibling bullying hell.
Logan and his brother Matty were later jailed for their part in their other brother's death but it soon emerged they could have also played a role in the death of DS Lisa Swain's partner, Becky.
The character was back on screens this week from his prison cell as the storyline continued to develop but it now seems that his time in Weatherfield is done for good.
Alongside a selection of snaps from his time on the Street, Logan actor Harry simply said: 'Farewell Logan. It's been a blast x.'
He originally joined the show 11 months ago in September.
Harry's followers - including his co-stars - took to the comments section underneath the post to praise the actor following his exit.
Fellow Corrie star Sydney Martin wrote: 'Smashed it.'
While another follower penned: 'Fantastic.'
And Liam McCheyne, who plays Dylan Wilson on the ITV soap, posted a string of applauding hand emojis.

Both Carla Connor (Alison King) and Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) have visited Logan on separate occasions in an attempt to find out what he knows about the death of Lisa's wife.
Logan is the latest character to reveal to have left after it was confirmed that the show would be axing 1 in 10 cast members amid a bloodbath and budget cuts.

The soap has been rocked by exits over the last 12 months with Sue Devaney (Debbie Webster), Shelley King (Yasmeen Metcalfe), Paddy Bever (Max Turner), Colson Smith (PC Craig Tinker) and Luca Toolan (Mason Radcliffe) also axed from their roles.

The Swansea terraced house that looks like a stately home
From the outside, this three-bedroom house on the outskirts of Swansea looks like an ordinary terraced home. But step inside and it reveals a remarkable work of art - a beautifully decorated neo-classical interior inspired by 18th Century Royston Jones, 77, originally from Ceredigion, inherited the house after his father passed away. Over the past five years he and his partner Fiona Gray have transformed it room by room using their own plasterwork and decorative Jones said his love of art and interior design was shaped by his experiences growing up as a foster child, and by visits to grand estates across west Wales and to Heveningham Hall in Suffolk. Mr Jones didn't learn about his past until he was 18 when he discovered relatives in Newquay who had never known of his existence, as his unmarried mother had kept his birth a by various foster families, including the Honourable Lady Aitken, he said he encountered "some really interesting" and "well-connected" individuals who left a lasting impact on his life and artistic Lady Aitken he was introduced to the Van Eyck family of Heveningham Hall, which he described as the "finest neo classical interior in Europe" and his "spiritual home".Mr Jones explained: "It's enormously grand. "It's longer than Buckingham Palace and it stands in the middle of the countryside with a great lake in the valley."His visits sparked a lifelong fascination with King George III's favourite architect James Wyatt, who designed the hall's interiors, and he has since built up an archive of the inside of the the government purchased it in 1970, Mr Jones spent significant time researching and photographing Heveningham Hall - and the entrance hall in his Swansea home is now modelled on its entrance hall. After studying art at Lowestoft in East Suffolk, Mr Jones went on to attend London College of Fashion. However, a serious illness forced him to pause his studies. During his long recovery he turned to academic research on architecture and began crafting his first neo classical models."I just find it incredibly beautiful," he said. "It's almost too delicate to survive - and yet it does. It's everywhere."It was during this period that he met Ms Gray. The two began working together, with their first paid commission in 1985 where Ms Gray assisted him. Since then they have spent the past 50 years creating intricate one-eighth scale models of neo classical interiors, focusing on the period between 1760 and work has been commissioned by a number of high-profile people and has earned them numerous awards. These include models of both Sledmere House's drawing room in Yorkshire and the Painted Room from Spencer House. The latter was originally intended as a gift for Diana, Princess of Wales and was described at the time by Lord Rothschild, who had restored Spencer House, as "a masterpiece, a work of genius".Mr Jones has held major exhibitions in Bond Street, created artwork for Russian palaces, and completed plasterwork in a grand Robert Adam mansion in Portland Square, pair's decades of working together has led to their long-term project; their home in Swansea. Built in 1910, the house on Llangyfelach Road in Treboeth is a two-storey brick property with a low-pitched slate Jones said his father moved from Newquay in Ceredigion after the war and settled in Treboeth with his stepmother, later leaving the house to him and Ms Gray "unexpectedly".The pair moved in from Norwich and began transforming the Jones said: "I thought we were living in this plain old box, and I wanted to bring some beauty into it."He added the house looked "very different" before they took it over as his father and his wife were "very conventional"."I'm sure he'd be amazed if he saw all this now." The pair transformed it room by room, so far decorating six rooms with only one at the back still Jones explained that "hand by hand" they designed every ornament, created the moulds, and cast each piece said the simple ceilings took up to four weeks to complete, while more intricate features like the staircase took much to him, visitors "can't believe it" when they step inside."They all gasp as they come in," Mr Jones said."They call it a Tardis, because on the outside it just looks like nothing and then they walk through the door and they are shocked." Although Mr Jones and Ms Gray are content with life in Swansea, calling it a "lovely place" where "people are so nice", they are considering a move."We're looking for somewhere quieter with bigger rooms, so we can really go wild with even more plasterwork," Mr Jones ahead, they hope to find "someone sympathetic" to buy their home - "someone who truly appreciates what we've done, so it isn't gutted or ripped out."

Coronation Street legend Catherine Tyldesley 'will FINALLY return to the cobbles' seven years after quitting
Catherine Tyldesley will reportedly finally make a return to Coronation Street seven years after quitting the coblbes. The actress, 41, became a household name when she was first cast as glamorous barmaid Eva Price on the ITV soap in 2011. She was the on-screen daughter of Stella Price, played by EastEnders star Michelle Collins, who was also the long-lost mother of Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson). But Catherine quit the cobbles in 2018, and producers are said to have been trying to entice her back for years, and she will finally begin filming again this summer. It is believed that after some persuading by soap bosses, Eva is going to take over the Rovers Return Inn as will be the brand new landlady, according to The Sun. A source told the publication: 'It's one of the biggest jobs in soap, the landlady of the Rovers Return pub. 'Bosses were desperate to get Cath back, they came up with the perfect storyline with her being unveiled as the new landlady of the Rovers.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV and Catherine's representatives for comment. During her time on the serial, Eva famously had a relationship with Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) but he had an affair with Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon). As an act of revenge when she found out, Eva faked a pregnancy and spent Aidan's savings on a pink Range Rover. The pair later become engaged but Maria burst into the wedding to expose the truth about the fake pregnancy. A short time later, Eva discovered that she was actually pregnant with Aidan's baby but agreed to give the child to her half-sister Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor). Soon after that, Aidan took his own life in 2017, and Eva became attached to baby Susie and left the cobbles in the back of a taxi with her. Catherine then starred in the short-lived sitcom Scarborough and played a leading role in Bonnie & Clyde: The Musical, but it was cancelled halfway through the tour amid poor ticket sales. The soap star reunited with her Corrie on-screen boyfriend, X Factor winner Shayne, on The Good Ship Murder, which began airing its second series in January. There was also another Weatherfield reunion when Catherine starred alongside her former co-star Michelle Keegan once again earlier this year. Catherine took on a guest starring role on Michelle's comedy series Brassic, with the pair sharing photographs from set during filming. News of Catherine's comeback comes shortly after she admitted she would 'never say never' to returning to Corrie. She told Prima magazine: ' Coronation Street feels like forever ago, but I always look back with such great fondness 'But if they approached me with an amazing storyline and the time was right, of course, I'd go back. So it's always a case of never say never.'

Emma Corrin is seen for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet on the set of Netflix's Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good fortune must surely be in want of a… dog? What Jane Austen would have made of this is anyone's guess. But these exclusive pictures show Emma Corrin for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet in Netflix's new production of Austen's Pride And Prejudice – and they suggest The Crown star is taking the character's sharp wit and independent spirit to heart. Emma, in period costume and curly wig, was seen cuddling beloved dog Spencer between takes on set – proving, just as in the novel, that important relationships can take many forms. The star was later spotted on a rooftop looking even less like a Georgian heroine, laughing with Freya Mavor, who plays Elizabeth Bennet's sister Jane, and eating a banana. Emma also appeared to grimace with trepidation while gingerly descending some scaffolding. The 29-year-old, who won plaudits playing a young Princess Diana in The Crown, is often seen walking Spencer near their home in Margate and in north London, where the actor shared a £5million home with Bohemian Rhapsody Oscar winner Rami Malek, 44. But like Lizzy Bennet, the star's love life has become tangled, splitting with Malek earlier this year and now said to be dating Zachary Hart, who appeared with Emma on stage in a production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. The hotly anticipated adaptation of Austen's 1813 novel is also set to star Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden as eligible Mr Darcy and Olivia Colman as Emma's determined mother Mrs Bennet. Other star names released by Netflix include Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet and Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Sadly for some, Jack Lowden will not replicate Colin Firth's famous scene from the 1995 TV adaptation, which saw him emerge dripping wet from a lake – getting female viewers' hearts racing. This year marks 250 years since Austen's birth. The six-part Netflix series, written by Dolly Alderton, will be on screens early next year. However, Netflix recently sparked uproar after releasing a first look at the casting for the new Pride & Prejudice series - with some fans now threatening to boycott it altogether. On Friday, Netflix shared a picture on social media of the Bennet women on set. The films stars shared a quiet moment as they took in the view below Freya and Emma smiled at each other and giggled as they filmed the first scenes as the two eldest Bennet sisters Freya was seen holding a vintage monocular telescope amid filming The actress looked out of the telescope while Emma watched on 'We know you've been yearning for a sneak peek. Pride & Prejudice is officially in production,' the post read. 'Here's a first look featuring Emma Corrin, Freya Mavor, Olivia Colman, Hopey Parish, Rhea Norwood and Hollie Avery as the Bennet women.' But fans immediately rushed to the comments to express their distaste at the prospect as one wrote: 'Not to self: unsubscribe from Netflix immediately, today,' someone wrote. 'This casting is awful what the f**k,' another added. 'You cannot be serious,' someone else said. 'Oh help… praying this isn't a cock up like Persuasion. 'Actually scratch that… this is a reminder to me to unsubscribe,' another shared. Other members of the cast include Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, and Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, per Variety. While Freya had no issues with the steps, Emma appeared to be much more trepidatious More actors include Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet and Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, while Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery are making their acting debuts as Mary Bennet and Kitty Bennet respectively. The director and screenwriter of Heartstopper, Euros Lyn and Dolly Alderton, respectively, are taking on the series. 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story, and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,' Alderton said in a statement, per the outlet. 'Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.' The limited series will finish filming in the UK at the end of 2025, per What's On Netflix.
