It has been confirmed that Actress Julie Hesmondhalgh will leave her role as Hayley Cropper after 15 years. The Sweet-natured Cafe Worker Hayley wife to Roy will bow out of the coronation street at the end of the this year. The show has promised that its writers and producers are "working on storylines to ensure a dramatic exit plot for the iconic character". Speaking on Leaving Julie said I've had the most wonderful and happy time in the life-changing 15/16 years I've been in Corrie, and I owe so much to the show and the special team that make it happen," Hesmondhalgh said.
"The decision to hang up Hayley's red anorak was a tough one, but doing the play at the Royal Exchange last year made me realise that there's life in the old dog yet and that there are other things I want to try.""Whatever happens next I'll always be proudest of lovely Mrs Cropper and in particular what we achieved in changing attitudes to transgender and in portraying possibly the most loving, faithful and steadfast couple in soap history! I'll always be the show's biggest fan'
