Shobna and Natalie, as Sunita and Kirsty ,have now filmed their final scenes and left the cobbles - for good? Who knows? Well, if tabloid rumours are true, Sunita will snuff it in the Rovers Return fire which takes place next month.
But as for crazy Kirsty, well, I'd love to see her back. Just when Tyrone and Fiz and the kids are settling down to watch telly on a cosy, cold winter's night, their Christmas lights flickering above the fireplace, a glass of sherry in their hands, there'll be a sound at the back door, a shadowy figure, and it'll be Kirsty coming back to cause more trouble. Yes, I'd love to see her back.
Natalie Gumede has been one of the best actresses Corrie's ever had - in this fan's opinion. And Kirsty Soames will be remembered for being one of the nastiest villains ever - and so brilliant to watch.
It's going to be interesting to see where the careers of both actresses will take them next. As soon as we hear news of either of them, we'll be blogging it, of course.
