Coronation Street actresses Nikki Sanderson and Debra Stephenson are reported to be quitting the ITV1 soap.

Sanderson's real-life boyfriend Danny Young is leaving the show in July, and friends claim that they cannot bear to be parted.

Nikki, who plays Candice Stowe, is quoted by the Daily Star as saying, "My contract is up in September. At the end of the day, an actor's life is one where you do go from job to job. People understand it."

Meanwhile, Stephenson, who plays Frankie Baldwin, is apparently hoping to pursue a music career, following her appearance on Comic Relief Does Fame Academy.

"I've had three offers since Fame Academy," Debra said. "I'm not going to turn this chance down. The idea is to get an album of songs together. I already have one I did for a hobby on the internet."

Candice is a good character because she is so dumb and shallow, you can laugh at her but I wouldn't particularly miss her. Frankie on the other hand is really good and Debra Stevenson is such a good actress but I preferred her character in Bad Girls.

i read somewhere recently that the axeing of Danny young has been overturned and that if he quits his boozing all the time he can be there permanently. But he is on thin ice. :cool:

There was a report in the Daily Star but as far as I know its not true. Corrie hasn't said he's saying.

I hope Debra Stephenson doesn't leave because she's an amazing actress. I really enjoyed seeing the real person on Celeb Fame Academt but I'd miss the loud and brash Frankie! Also, no disrespect to her, I do think she's gorgeous and everything but she's getting on a bit to be a pop star!
