Kym Marsh has confirmed the fate of Michelle Connor as she prepares to say goodbye to Coronation Street.
The actress, who has been on the show for thirteen years, has yet to film her final scenes, but is already prepared for what’s in store when the time comes.
Speaking on This Morning, Phillip Schofield questioned her on how it feels to be leaving the character behind.
‘[It feels] a bit weird,’ she told him. ‘I’m going to be very emotional on my last day, for sure.’
Confirming she knows when her exit scenes will happen, she said: ‘I do know, probably can’t say. But it’s soon, coming up very soon.’
Phillip then quizzed about whether the brassy barmaid, who’s about to get her heartbroken on her wedding day, will end up being killed off.
‘No,’ Kym said. ‘The door is open so that’s good.’
‘I just, you know, it comes a time when you’re a part of such a huge show and you play that character for so many years,’ she later explained. ‘I just thought I’d quite like to try my hand at something else.
‘I’m always one who loved a bit of a challenge, and so, there you go.’
Kym previously teased that her storyline could be connected to a Christmas Day exit, which as we all know in Soapland, is never short of problems.
After leaving the soap, Kym is not short on opportunities.
Kym will be appearing in stage show Elf: A Christmas Spectacular this winter, as well as giving hosting a go by heading over to the BBC.
She is joining BBC News reporter Ashley John Baptiste for a new BBC factual TV series called For Love Or Money.
