Heavy drinking is a hard spiral to get out of.
But it must be depressing to play the part over
several years. Im not surprised the actress wanted
out of Corrie particularly as she showed the
ability to play a character with some strength initially.
Soaps are meant to.reflect real life. Nice to have
a positive -not just negatives.
That doesnt mean a lack of sympathy for those
who do still struggle!
I love their scenes togetherQuote:

When Steph finds out how her brother Luke badmouthed Jamie to his boss and lost him his job, she’s furious and points out his stupidity might have put Carla in hospital.
Later in the week the police pay Carla a visit and tell her they’ve arrested Jamie and he’s admitted to the robbery.
Steph visits Carla and apologises for Jamie’s actions, but after everything she’s been through will Carla accept her apology?
Meanwhile, Todd Grimshaw wonders why Tracy Barlow is keeping her knowledge of Robert Preston’s affair with Carla under wraps.
Fans will know that Tracy was in the Bistro the night Carla was attacked and didn’t come to her aid after overhearing her talking about having sex with Robert.
As yet Tracy has kept her cool over what she’s discovered but she explains to Todd that she’s saving that bombshell for the right time and place!
Coronation Street: Carla leaves for good!
Actress Alison King's departure from the Street will be permanent...
There will be no happy-ever-after for Carla Connor and fiancé Nick Tilsey, because actress Alison King has revealed she'll be leaving the soap later this spring - and won't be coming back!
Coronation Street bosses announced last year that star Alison would be taking an extended break. But after a lot of thought, she has decided not to renew her contract...
"It's been put out there that I'm taking a sabbatical, but I'm not," reveals Alison, who has been playing Carla since 2006. "The producers have very graciously left the door open for me to come back if I want to. I haven't ruled it out, but what happens next is going to be a new chapter for me.
"I only meant to stay for four years, and now I'm in my 10th," she adds. "My daughter, Daisy, has been the main victim because she's had to share so much of her mummy's time with Corrie. I've probably only ever done about 20 pickups or drop-offs while she's been at school, which is quite sad."
Alison's decision spells the end of an era in Weatherfield, but the big question remains as to how Street siren Carla will make her exit. Show chiefs clearly have no intention of killing her off, so it's safe to assume that she makes a full recovery from the brutal raid that took place at the Bistro.
However, now that Carla's arch-nemesis Tracy knows about her one-night stand with Robert, will her quest for vengeance result in her rival leaving town for good? And what will happen when Carla's fiancé, Nick, also finds out about her infidelity?
"I was gutted when Carla cheated on Nick with Robert!" admits Alison. "I suppose there needs to be a catalyst to bring everything to a head, but I don't believe it would've happened had I not been leaving. People seem to love the ongoing Carla and Tracy feud, so I imagine she'll definitely have something to do with my character going."
With Alison confirming that she's leaving the soap in May - and Carla preparing to wed Nick at the end of the same month - the stage is set for some almighty drama. Will the Street be the same without her?
How will Carla exit?
She's heading for a wedding - but it looks as if it will be no dream day...
Prison: After everything Tracy's put her through, we wouldn't be surprised if Carla snaps and drives a stiletto through her rival's skull! Will she follow in her half-brother's Rob Donovan's footsteps and be banged up for murder?
The lure of LA: Carla's been known to jet off to Los Angeles whenever life's got tough, so a permanent move to Hollywood could be just what the doctor orders if Nick finds out about Robert...
Peter Barlow: Speaking of Nick, he's already had one wedding to Leanne ruined thanks to womanising Peter Barlow - who also happens to be the former love of Carla's life! Will he show up just as she's about to marry Nick, and sweep her off her feet?
Do they? I think it's extremely repetitive and tiresome.Quote:

If the stiletto only caused a bit of damage rather than finishing Tracy off for good, the character will be able to stay and continue making everyone´s life on Coronation Street a misery. I hope that Carla´s exit will be because Tracy spills the beans to Nick just before the wedding about Carla and Robert´s fling and that Carla leaves for LA .... I don´t want Carla in prison, even if it is for attempted murder or manslaughter ....Quote:
