Emma Brooker has left the famous Coronation Street cobbles after finally getting her happy ending. The bubbly barmaid said an emotional goodbye to her friends and family as she headed of to start a new life in Australia with her soulmate Jon Spear.
The pair met through highly unusual circumstances when Emma attended the funeral of his grandfather Ted. Filled with guilt after she and Faye Windass accidentally ran pensioner Ted down on New Year's Day, and later found him dead at his flat when they went to check on him, Emma feared she would lose her beau when he found out the truth.
But in Wednesday night's episode Jon, who has plans to open a beach bar, insisted that he still wanted to move away with her after the pair had fallen quickly and deeply in love. And on Friday night (April 8) jaws dropped as Emma told her family that she was leaving.
