Fans of ITV's Coronation Street have been left split over the news a star is leaving the show. Viewers will say farewell to Emma Brooker this week as she leaves the cobbles. But how she leaves has been left a mystery and the door will be left open for her to return in the future.
The pink-wearing barmaid has been played by Alexandra Mardell since 2018 and back in February she announced she was leaving the ITV hit soap after four years in the role. She said it felt "like the right time" to depart and last month spent her final days on the Salford set which was full of emotions.
