Janice Battersby is the leaving Coronation Street after 14 years, it has been confirmed today.
Actress Vicky Entwistle is bowing out to pursue other acting projects, but praised Corrie for all it has given her.
New Producer Phil Collinson said: "Vicky created a strong and uncompromising battleaxe with a heart of gold lurking underneath - in the true tradition of great Coronation Street women. She'll be missed by us all and we wish her well.”
She's the latest in a long line leaving the show this year.
I, for one, am gutted at this news, albeit not too surprised. I'm really going to miss Janice on the show, and will especially miss the mother-daughter relationship between her and Leanne. Do I smell another tram crash victim?
