Coronation Street bosses have dropped a massive bombshell on fans, revealing that Kylie Platt is being killed off.
The popular character will meet a tragic end later this month in a devastating storyline twist that producers are keeping tightly under wraps.
Kylie's final week on screen begins on Monday, July 11, when she suggests to her husband David (Jack P Shepherd) that they should leave Weatherfield forever.
She makes the life-changing decision as she is no longer comfortable living on the Street following the months of turmoil caused by Callum Logan's murder.

Unsettled by the knowledge that they've successfully managed to frame the late Tony Stewart for the crime, Kylie gets ready for a whole new life away from the cobbles with David and the kids.
Unfortunately, their excitement and plans for the future are all suddenly shattered when Kylie dies unexpectedly. But how?
Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - teased: "It was very emotional to film the scenes knowing that I would never return and her death has huge consequences for David and all the family."
Coronation Street is already ramping up the tension by releasing this brand new stylish promo trailer showing Kylie packing her belongings into a car, but as the mood switches, the vehicle is revealed to be a hearse.

Kylie's devastated family and friends can also be seen in the sombre footage.
While Kylie's death has been officially announced by the producers, Corrie won't be giving away exactly how she meets her maker until the episode airs.
Lane filmed her final Coronation Street scenes last month and is bowing out from the show of her own accord to pursue new acting projects.

I am sorry to see her go but it is the best way to conclude the Callum murder storyline
