One of the most popular Coronation Street characters is set to leave the street for good and she isn't just going on a short break according to latest reports.
Alison King plays feisty Carla Connor and is known as the tough businesswoman of the street and is to leave the street in the coming months with a huge exit storyline to come later in the year.
Recently speaking with Metro Alison King told them that she is to leave the show permanently
"Yeah – it’s not actually a break, I’m actually leaving.
Because they’re leaving the door open, I think people originally called it a break – and people are asking ‘when are you coming back?’ and I’m like ‘I’m not’. I’m looking forward to going back to doing different things and being versatile. I was meant to give myself four years at the most and I’ve done an amazing ten years but it’s knackering. I need to creatively be a few other people now and see my daughter a bit more."
It's a shock to fans of Corrie and to us as just last July she said in an interview that after her break ""I'd definitely like to return". So we expect a massive storyline before she leaves and we expect that to be around May or June when she is expected to leave the show.
