Coronation Street schemer Lydia Chambers will be leaving the show at the end of her current storyline.
Former Waterloo Road and Shameless star Rebecca Ryan, who plays Lydia, filmed her final scenes for the ITV soap early last month.
Digital Spy understands that Lydia will remain on screen for a few more weeks, with more drama to come in her storyline with Adam Barlow.
It was always the plan for Lydia to be on the show for this finite period of time, as her character was brought in specifically for the Adam and Sarah plot.
Corrie viewers have recently seen Lydia destroy the Barlows' marriage by falsely claiming that she has been having an affair with Adam.
Lydia's elaborate scheme to trap Adam currently has Sarah totally fooled. However, upcoming episodes will see Adam start to fight back as he frantically tries to defend himself.
Rebecca recently hinted that viewers could see another side of Lydia as the story continues in the coming weeks.
Asked whether Lydia can redeem herself, Rebecca told Digital Spy and other media: "I'd like to think so. Towards the end of the storyline, you do see a different side to her, you don't just see her ruining Adam's life for no reason.
"You can sort of get why she's doing it and hopefully people will start to see that and have a bit of sympathy for her and start to realise she's not a bad person at all, she's actually a nice person but has been hurt very badly.
"Hopefully, that will come across."
Sam Robertson, who plays Adam, added: "I think the trouble with this situation is that Adam is in the dark. He's confused as to why this woman is on such a mission against him and doesn't understand why or what the reasons are.
"Only when he finally does understand the reasons, you'll find out if he's given the opportunity to make amends. I can't say too much."
