    Barbara is 83 years old ... maybe she has indicated that she wants to retire?

    CORRIE bosses are to shock millions of fans by killing off show legend Rita Tanner.

    The Sun on Sunday can reveal the much loved character, who made her debut in 1964, will be diagnosed with a brain tumour later in the year

    Rita has been 'Queen of the Kabin' since the 1970s
    But The Sun on Sunday can reveal she will be diagnosed with a brain tumour.

    And she will reject emergency surgery to remove the growth, fearing she might wake up to a life that she no longer remembers.

    Soap sources said it would end in tragedy for Rita, who has recently been experiencing strange symptoms, such as bouts of forgetfulness.

    One said: “It has been suggested she might have dementia, but she does not.

    “In fact, she will be diagnosed with a tumour and her doctors will say there is a serious risk she will die if they don’t remove it.

    “But Rita is terrified that she could not know who she is, or recognise her friends.


    “All the indications are that this will end tragically.”

    Rita’s diagnosis is expected to be revealed in October.


    Barbara, now 83-years-old, has been in the ITV soap for over 50 years
    One of Rita’s most famous storylines saw her escape from her abusive partner Alan Bradley as he was knocked down by a Blackpool tram in 1989.

    She has run her shop the Kabin since the 1970s.

    I thought Sally, Kevin and their kids would show more concern as Rita like a mother and gran to them

    Didn’t Claudia say she might not be able to give them ALL the investment back. At least they will get most of it back.

    According to The Sun, Rita tries to put up the fairy lights on her Christmas tree, though trips and falls with the tree falling on top of her.

    Because she's told residents that she's going away for the festive period, nobody investigates – especially as her home is left in darkness.

    However, after a few days she is found by chance by a neighbour and later tells residents she thought she was going to die.

    Digital Spy has reached out to Coronation Street for comment.

    Coronation Street is lining up another return for Norris Cole as Rita Tanner's new storyline begins.

    With a first appearance back in 1994, Norris (Malcolm Hebden) has returned for a few brief stints this year and he'll be back for another one next week as part of Rita's (Barbara Knox) storyline.

    In upcoming episodes, Rita is preparing for her trip to Edinburgh to see Emily (Eileen Derbyshire) when she realises that she'd promised to feed Mrs MacElroy's cat. She then looks for someone to feed the cat while she's away.

    However, she no longer can go to Edinburgh as Emily has twisted her ankle.

    Later, Rita has a heart-to-heart with Jenny, confiding in her that in her search for someone to help with the cat she has realised she has no friends.

    With her trip now cancelled, Rita decides to call at The Kabin to ask if she could return to work, but Brian reveals (Peter Gunn) that he's already hired Gail (Helen Worth).

    Rita later runs into Norris who agrees to meet her for a cup of tea, but he admits he can't stay long as he's meeting Freda later.

    It's safe to say that Rita's feelings of loneliness might be leading to an upcoming devastating storyline for the character over Christmas.
