We have no idea if this is true or not, so take it with a pinch of salt until or if ITV confirm this story.
The Sun say that Eileen Derbyshire will leave early in the New Year for six months. Mr Curry Sauce tells The Sun that she may not return.
Eileen Derbyshire, 84, is the longest-running female cast member on Coronation Street and has been in Corrie since 1961.
Other cast members leaving or taking a break include Alison King (Carla Connor), David Neilson (Roy Cropper), Les Dennis (Michael Rodwell) and Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster). Read about that all here.
