Other Corrie favourites flocking to Alexandra's bash included Charlotte Jordan and Rob Mallard, Georgia Taylor and Charlie de Melo and Mollie Gallagher and Tanisha Gorey who play couples Daisy Midgeley and Daniel Osbourne, Toyah Battersby and Imran Habeeb and Nina Lucas and Asha Alahan.
Kimberly Hart-Simpson who is returning to our screens as Daniel Osbourne's former love interest Nicky Wheatley, Julia Goulding, who plays Shona Ramsey, Alya Nazir actress Sair Khan, Gary Windass actor Mikey North and Kel Allen, who plays Laura Neelan, also gathered to wish Alexandra all the best for the future.
And she was also joined by Jordan Ford Silver who plays newcomer Jon, the grandson of Ted the elderly man who died after he was knocked over while Emma was in the car supervising learner driver Faye Windass at the wheel.
"Face ache from smiling and hardly any photos are a sign of a fab night! Can we do it again?" wrote Alexandra as she shared photos from the night on her Instagram.
"Huge hugs to everyone who came to say ta-ra for now! Had the best night with you all! Big big love."
Georgia replied: "We love you Ali!! Xxx"
And Tanisha said: "Allll love over here."
And fans have been begging her not to leave.

lynda.angus said: "You're going to be missed good luck for the future."
And nicky.jinks wrote: "Corrie will seriously not be the same without you. Your comic timing and acting is off the scale."
It was announced earlier this month that Alexandra was leaving Corrie after making her debut in Weatherfield in 2018 as an apprentice hairdresser at Audrey Roberts' salon.
Alexandra, 28, has been snapped filming alongside Jordan who first appeared in the soap last month as part of a major death cover-up storyline.
Emma and her best pal Faye are in deep after running Ted down, and they later found him dead in his armchair after taking him home instead of calling an ambulance.
Faye has since confessed everything to her police officer boyfriend Craig and he quit the force after deciding to stand by his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Emma was at Ted's funeral - despite Faye warning her not to go - and ended up talking to Ted's heartbroken grandson.
Alexandra will depart the famous Coronation Street cobbles in April.
When she arrived she had no idea that she was working and living on the same street as her biological father Steve as it emerged that his ex Fiona Middleton was her mum.
At Christmas she went through heartache when her fiance Curtis Delamere, who suffered factitious disorder in which someone deceives others by appearing sick, was wrongly accused of stealing £100,000 meant for a charity in memory of her half brother Oliver Battersby.
She sent him packing on what was meant to be their wedding day only to discover that he had been innocent all along and the money had gone through later due to a technical fault.
Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod confirmed the Ted storyline will ultimately lead to to Emma's exit.
“Big-hearted Emma has found herself in a massive pickle - one which will ultimately cause her to wave goodbye to the cobbles," said Iain.
"At least for now… Alexandra has been pure Corrie gold since the first moment she lit up the screen in 2018 and I am sure viewers will miss Emma’s sunny, silly sweetness as much as I will.
"She has left a memorable impression on the Street and I wish Alexandra all the best in the next chapter of her career.”
